Kash Patel, an attorney who held key positions in the intelligence and defense community during President Donald Trump’s administration, has defended the former president’s decision to skip the Republican presidential debates this week in his bid to retake the White House in 2024.
In an interview with NTD News’ “Capitol Report,” Mr. Patel touted President Trump’s leading the polls in the Republican primary field, and said that in his assessment, Mr. Trump has already virtually locked in the Republican nomination.
