“Trump officials tried to start their shake-up of the Federal Bureau of Investigation even before the president took office, picking supervisors in New York and New Jersey to run the agency until the Senate could confirm Kash Patel, Trump’s choice for FBI director,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“But in an Inauguration Day scramble, White House officials goofed on the White House website and listed the wrong man in charge of the agency… Instead of correcting the error, officials let it stand, and the two men traded temporary titles, hopeful that Patel could soon be in the job.”
