A loud critic of the FBIs Russia investigation
Patel first came to prominence in Trumps orbit as an outspoken critic of the FBIs investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trumps 2016 presidential campaign.
As a staffer on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired at the time by Rep. Devin Nunes, a Trump loyalist, Patel helped author a four-page report that detailed what it said were errors the Justice Department made in obtaining a warrant to surveil a former Trump campaign adviser.
