Under Patel, FBI Sets Record for Job Applications

The FBI received a record number of applications for agents during the first full month of Director Kash Patel’s time in office as the Trump administration looks to reshape the agency.

Fox News Digital reported that the FBI received 5,577 applications last month, breaking the previous record of 5,283 from April 2016.

“Director Patel and Deputy Director [Dan] Bongino have put a major emphasis on restoring confidence in federal law enforcement and boosting new agent recruiting,” FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said in a statement Wednesday. “These record early returns certainly suggest the new FBI is heading in the right direction.”
