From NY Post: FBI Director Kash Patel has filed a lawsuit in Texas against an MSNBC columnist who falsely claimed the official spent more time in “nightclubs” than inside the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, DC.
Patel is suing Frank Figliuzzi for “fabricating a specific lie” about him, according to court documents, namely that “reportedly (Patel has) been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover Building.”
Defendant knew that this was a lie when he said it,” Patel’s attorneys alleged. “…Since becoming Director of the FBI, Director Patel has not spent a single minute inside of a nightclub.”
In the suit, Patel’s attorneys claimed “there was no basis for Defendant’s fabrication, and Defendant’s use of the weasel word, ‘reportedly,’ is itself a fabrication.”
“Defendant did not rely on reporting by any other person,” the attorneys wrote in the filing. “Defendant made up the story out of whole cloth, and by using the word ‘reportedly,’ attempts to distance himself from what is a maliciously false and defamatory statement.”
