The source of Trump urges swift confirmation of Kash Patel as FBI director, stating that when the FBI fails, Americans die.

The FBI was initially criticized by President-elect Trump's allies for classifying the New Orleans car attack as non-terror related, but later launched a terrorism investigation linked to ISIS.

A source close to Trump informed Planet Chronicle Digital on Thursday morning that the FBI's mission is to succeed at all costs, with no margin for error. If they fail, it could result in the loss of American lives. It is imperative that Kash Patel is confirmed as soon as possible.

On Wednesday morning, New Orleans' Bourbon Street was the scene of a tragic incident as New Year's Eve celebrations turned chaotic. The perpetrator, later identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, is accused of driving a truck into the crowds on the famous party street, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people and injuries to many others. Jabbar, armed with a Glock and a .308 rifle, was killed after firing at police.

On Wednesday morning, law enforcement officials, including the FBI, held a press conference and announced that the attack was not related to terrorism.

Alethea Duncan, the FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans field office, stated during a press conference that the bureau would be taking the lead in the investigation of the event and that it was not a terrorist act.

In the same press conference, the mayor of New Orleans refuted Duncan's statement, asserting that the attack was linked to terrorism.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat who has been in office since 2018, stated at a press conference that the city of New Orleans was affected by a terrorist attack. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be provided later.

On Wednesday, the FBI announced that the attack on the crowds was being investigated as an act of terror, after an ISIS flag was discovered on the truck that rammed into the crowds.

The FBI is investigating the potential associations and affiliations of a person with terrorist organizations after an ISIS flag was discovered in their vehicle.

We are the lead investigative agency and are working with our partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism. We are aggressively pursuing all leads to identify any possible associates of the subject.

While conservative lawmakers condemned the attack and expressed sympathy for the victims, they also criticized the FBI for its perceived mishandling of the incident. Senator Marsha Blackburn, a close ally of Trump's FBI nominee Kash Patel, attacked the FBI in a series of messages on X and renewed support for Patel's confirmation as FBI director.

On Wednesday, Blackburn tweeted, "The tragic terror attack in New Orleans that resulted in the deaths of innocent people underscores the need for strong leadership. America requires a fearless leader like @Kash_Patel at the FBI."

The FBI was accused by Blackburn of visiting the suspect's home in Texas, despite media already staking out the property.

On Wednesday, New York Post reporter Jennie Taer posted on X that the FBI arrived at the NOLA suspect's address at 1pm today, despite the fact that they were already on scene beforehand. No one exited the home or answered the door.

Blackburn stated that the FBI had "failed" in its mission as the country's top law enforcement agency, according to a Post reporter.

"The FBI's failure to fulfill its mission is evident from the fact that a reporter has better intel than the bureau," Blackburn stated.

The FBI refused to comment on the New Orleans' agent's statement that the attack was not connected to terrorism when asked for comment on the criticisms.

An individual drove a car into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing several people and injuring many others. The suspect then interacted with local law enforcement and has since passed away. The FBI is currently leading the investigation into this incident as an act of terrorism, working alongside its partners.

Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen from Texas, served as an Army veteran who specialized in human resources and information technology from March 2007 to Jan. 2015. He also deployed to Afghanistan from Feb. 2009 to Jan. 2010.

Trump slammed President Biden and his administration’s policies for the attack.

I have repeatedly stated during rallies and elsewhere that the Biden 'Open Borders' policy will lead to an increase in radical Islamic terrorism and other forms of violent crime in America, making it difficult to believe. Unfortunately, this has come to pass, and the situation is even worse than imagined. In my opinion, Joe Biden is the worst president in American history, a complete and total disaster.

On Wednesday, Biden expressed his grief over the attack and emphasized that New Orleans will never be defeated, despite the violence.

"The president stated that New Orleans is a unique destination, unlike any other place on earth. He praised the city's charm and happiness, emphasizing the many reasons why it is loved by people worldwide. The city's history, culture, and people are what make it stand out."

He stated that despite the terrible assault on the city, the spirit of New Orleans will never be defeated.
