Kash Patel Sues The Atlantic

The lawsuit centers on an unflattering piece about Patel’s girlfriend, which he alleges was based on false information provided by anonymous sources.

In a heated exchange on Fox News, Patel denied using FBI resources to intimidate the journalist who wrote the story.

Media experts suggest the lawsuit is unlikely to succeed but note that it follows a routine pattern of Trump administration officials using the courts to target critical reporting.

Meanwhile, former high school athletes coached by Patel have come forward to criticize his 'MAGA makeover.'
