New Delhi, Nov. 26 -- Amid rumours that Donald Trump was considering removing Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel from his post, the US President on Tuesday offered support to the 45-year-old American Attorney.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump dismissed the speculation, saying that Patel was doing a "great job".

The rumours about the Republican President mulling Patel's ouster gained steam after news outlet MS NOW, citing three unidentified sources, reported that Trump and his aides had grown frustrated with the FBI Director, owing to some of the unflattering media attention he's received of late.
