The Trump administration is implementing changes at the FBI, with the assignment of Tom Ferguson, a former FBI agent and aide to Rep. Jim Jordan, to return to the agency. This move comes amidst claims by President Trump that the FBI has become politicized.
Rep. Jim Jordan, a vocal critic of the FBI, led a subcommittee focused on addressing concerns of weaponization within the bureau and other agencies. Tom Ferguson is one of several new civilian hires at the FBI since Trump assumed office on Monday. These new hires are said to be part of the preparation for the potential arrival of Kash Patel, whose nomination for FBI director is pending Senate confirmation.
