U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs has received endorsements from several pro-Donald Trump conservatives, with the latest nod coming from former Trump administration official Kash Patel. Patel served in various positions in the Trump administration, primarily in intelligence, and was the chief of staff to former Trump Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller. Patel attended two private events with Staggs Friday, and joined the Riverton mayor for an interview with the Deseret News that afternoon.
