FBI Director Kash Patel said a report in The Atlantic, which included allegations he drinks excessively and is often absent, based on conversations with unnamed colleagues, is “fake news” and a “hit piece.”

Ok, Kash. Go ahead and file your defamation lawsuit. Then respond to discovery (no stonewalling allowed) or get your case dismissed. Surely they taught you how that works when you were at Pace law school, right?
