Former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik has died at the age of 69, according to a source close to Kerik. FBI Director Kash Patel remembered Kerik in a Thursday evening post on X. “Today, we mourn the loss of Bernard B. Kerik, a warrior, a patriot, and one of the most courageous public servants this country has ever known.

Kerik, who once served three years in federal prison for charges including tax fraud and lying to officials, was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2020.
