"New York-born Patel has his roots in Gujarat. However, his parents are from East Africa: his mother from Tanzania and father from Uganda. They came to the U.S. from Canada in 1970.
After his schooling in New York and college in Richmond, Virginia, and law school in New York, Patel went to Florida where he was a state public defender for four years and then federal public defender for another four years, according to reports.
From Florida, he moved to Washington, D.C., as a terrorism prosecutor at the Department of Justice.
There, he was an international terrorism prosecutor for about three and a half years. During this period, he worked on cases all over the world.
While still employed by the Department of Justice, he went as a civilian to join the Special Operations Command at the Department of Defense.
At the Pentagon, he sat as the Department of Justice's lawyer with Special Forces people and worked with interagency collaborative targeting operations around the world, it said.
After a year in this sensitive position, Congressman Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Permanent Select on Intelligence Committee pulled him as senior counsel on counterterrorism.
After the elections, since April 2017, Patel has spearheaded the Russia investigation of the House Intelligence Committee, the Daily Beast said.
It was here when he attracted media attention, as he played a key role in drafting of a Republican memo, which, according to President Trump, exposed the Democratic Party and its leadership in the Russian investigation, it said."
Also suing the NYT:

“On October 23, 2019, in an article published online and tweeted to millions, Goldman and the Times, directly and by implication, falsely accused Kash Patel of lying, deceit, federal crimes, and illegal, conniving and unethical conduct,” the suit says.
“In truth, at no time prior to October 23, 2019 had Kash ever communicated with the President on any matters involving Ukraine. Kash never supplied any Ukraine `materials’ to the President,” Patel says in his suit, filed by Steven Bliss.
“Kash is proud of his record as a dedicated national security professional who is entrusted to handle our nation’s most sensitive matters. At no time did Kash stray from his mission to protect the homeland in service to the President and the NSC.”
Nothing will make a man angrier than being falsely accused.
Interesting that POTUS will be making a major visit to India soon.
