President-elect Donald Trump’s likely CIA director Kash Patel has called for the urgent declassification of the Jeffrey Epstein client list and Sean “Diddy” Combs list of co-conspirators as a means of restoring trust in government.

Trump insiders including Elon Musk believe the President-elect is likely to reward long-term loyalist and New York-born attorney Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel with the role of CIA director. A former Republican House staffer, Patel served in various high-ranking staff roles in the defense and intelligence communities during Trump’s first term.

Patel has also been a vocal advocate for the political prisoners who were prosecuted over the January 6 riots.

During an interview with podcaster Shawn Ryan, Patel said that Trump should create a ‘declassification office’ in order to increase transparency in government and restore public trust.

In response to that proposal, social media personality ALX wrote on X that Patel ‘should be the next CIA Director under Donald Trump.’

‘Good idea,’ Musk replied to the tweet, which included a clip of Patel’s interview.

The opinion of the Tesla, X and SpaceX boss holds a lot of weight with Trump.

DailyMail report: Musk has been with the president-elect ever since Election Day on November 5. Since then the two have been seen dining, golfing and walking around Mar-a-Lago together.

And female NASCAR icon Danica Patrick is backing Patel’s bid to take helm at the CIA, writing on X: ‘Let’s go Kash!’ 

She also said if he does lead the U.S.’s top intelligence agency, she’d love to see Patel declassify the ‘UFO files… while you’re at it.’ 

Earlier this summer, Musk joked online about creating a new agency called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that would focus on slashing the D.C. bureaucracy and regulations Republicans feel hold certain industries back. 

Musk first endorsed Trump after the assassination attempt against him at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July.

Patel served in Trump’s administration as a U.S. National Security Council official; senior advisor to the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI); and chief of staff to the Defense Secretary.
