Fox News
William H. Webster, former FBI and CIA director, wrote a letter to U.S. senators urging them to reject President-elect Trump's choice of Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard to lead the FBI and national intelligence, respectively.
Webster, who is 100 years old, is the only person to have led both the FBI and CIA. He warned senators that Patel's personal loyalty to Trump could conflict with the FBI's duty to uphold the rule of law. Chris Pandolfo is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
