Kash Patel suspended FBI analyst on his "enemies" list

FBI Director Kash Patel suspended an analyst, Brian Auten, who was previously named on a "deep state" enemies list in Patel's book. The suspension follows reports of Auten's inclusion on the list. Auten, a Russia expert, was placed on administrative leave last week, though the FBI has not publicly stated the reason. Patel's book, "Government Gangsters," labeled Auten and others as agents of the "deep state." Patel, a controversial figure, previously served as an advisor to Donald Trump. Auten was involved in investigations into both the Trump-Russia probe and the Hunter Biden laptop.
