Kash Patel Defamation Lawsuit
The lawsuit, which contains several typographical errors, seeks to challenge the validity of the magazine's sources and claims.
Late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have already mocked Patel over the allegations, referring to him as the 'soon-to-be former' director.
Democratic leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have called Patel a 'grave risk' to national security following the report.
The legal battle comes at a time of low public trust in federal law enforcement and heightened political scrutiny of the FBI.
