Kash Patel Sues The Atlantic
The legal battle between FBI Director Kash Patel and the media has escalated following a profile piece that cited more than two dozen anonymous sources detailing his alleged intemperance.
Patel's 19-page lawsuit, which has been mocked online for containing several typos, claims the magazine acted with actual malice to damage his reputation.
Democratic lawmakers have seized on the reports, calling for Patel's immediate resignation and pressing the Justice Department to preserve related records.
Meanwhile, a watchdog group has filed a FOIA request seeking Patel's official calendar and security detail messages to verify the drinking allegations.
