Trump's team says it will "submit names for background checks and security clearances," an agreement typically signed even before the election. The FBI historically vets each cabinet nominee and also handles security clearances, a process that could not begin until the agreement was made.
Trump and his allies have been openly critical of the FBI both on the campaign trail and since the election. Kash Patel, Trump's nominee to lead the organization, has been a crusader against the "deep state" since Trump's first term and has echoed Republican claims that Democrats have "weaponized" the FBI.

Well this is stupid. They are just going to say they are dangerous and shouldn't be nominated.
I wouldn't trust those traitors to vet anything.
Yeah, why the hell would he agree to this? You know they'll just create evidence to condemn all of his nominees.
It’s a change of direction from a few days ago when they said all background checks and vetting would be paid for and performed privately. Perhaps a boomerang has been launched.
Is President Trump testing the FBI?
More like "trolling" to expose them
That's an interesting development. I read that 47 decided to do the background checks with private security companies. But, if it's on FoxNews it must be true, correct?
Expected Vetting Response: "All nominees that are anti-swamp are dangerous".
This is a tactical move. More exposure.
I hope it's the incoming FBI and not the current cesspool.
