Kash Patel Vows Defamation Lawsuit
FBI Director Kash Patel is taking legal action against The Atlantic over a bombshell report that cites over two dozen sources detailing his alleged erratic behavior.
The article claims that Patel's drinking habits have made him unreachable during critical moments of national security.
Patel, appearing on Fox News, defended his record and argued that the FBI's recent successes prove he is effectively performing his duties.
The journalist behind the report has stated she stands by every word and is prepared to fight the lawsuit in court.
