EXCLUSIVE — Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist floated for the role of attorney general, dismissed the uproar over the former president’s “enemy from within” comments, but said if opponents break the law, they should be prosecuted.

“What the president has stated simply, whether it’s DOJ, FBI, DOD — we’re just going to stop the politicization of law enforcement, intelligence,” Patel told the Washington Examiner on Monday at a Trump campaign event in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
