President-elect Donald Trump just did it again.

In a bombshell announcement that had his supporters cheering, the soon-to-be 47th president finally selected the person he wants to lead the FBI, and the Washington D.C. establishment is already shaking in its boots.

According to Breitbart, Trump chose the highly popular lawyer and investigator Kash Patel to head up the agency under his incoming administration.

Patel, a longtime Trump supporter and "America First" proponent, thanked the incoming president in a social media post and hinted that his goal for the federal agency is reform.

What did he say?

Trump released a lengthy statement announcing Patel as his top FBI man, and praised the lawyer for his work leading up to the nomination.

"I am proud to announce that Kashyap 'Kash' Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and 'America First' fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People," Trump wrote.

Trump added, "He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution. Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council."

The president-elect also touted his legal experience, and highlighted his vision for the reformation of the FBI.

"Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI."

Trump was praised across social media for picking Patel for the job, with many expressing hope that the tarnished agency can once again be restored to what it once was.

Patel responds

For his part, Patel responded to Trump's announcement indicating that he's ready and willing to take on the job.

"It is the honor of a lifetime to be nominated by President Trump to serve as Director of the FBI. Together, we will restore integrity, accountability, and equal justice to our justice system and return the FBI to its rightful mission: protecting the American people," Patel wrote.

He was also praised by several other members of Trump's incoming administration.

Patel undoubtedly has a tough job ahead of him, but by all accounts, there's no better person to tackle it.
