Louisiana's junior Republican senator, John Kennedy, implored the FBI to 'catch these people' and demanded that they tell the American people the truth about the New Orleans attack that killed 14 people. The attack came at a time when the FBI was already facing political heat and public criticism from lawmakers, including allies of President-elect Donald Trump. The FBI is also bracing for a leadership change, as FBI Director Christopher Wray plans to resign his position to make way for Trump's pick, Kash Patel. Patel, a former Justice Department national security prosecutor, has expressed the need for major reforms within the FBI.
