FBI director Kash Patel has filed a lawsuit in Texas against a MSNBC columnist who falsely claimed that the official spent more time in the “nightclubs” than at the office headquarters in Washington, DC.
Patel is calling for Frank Figliuzzi to “make a specific lie” about him, according to court documents, that is, “supposedly (Patel has been) visible to the nightclubs much more than on the seventh floor of the Hoover building.”
The defendant knew this was a lie when he said, “Patel’s lawyers claimed.” … since he became director of the FBI, the director Patel has not spent a minute inside a nightclub. “
The demand also stated that “there was no basis for the manufacture of the defendant and the use of Weasel’s word of word,” he said, “it is a manufacture.”
“The defendant did not trust any other person’s reports,” the lawyers said in the presentation. “The defendant constituted the history of the whole fabric and, through the word,” according to the reports, attempts to distance themselves from what is a maliciously false and defamatory statement. “
The lawyers claim that the claim of Figliuzzi was a defamation, saying that Figliuzzi wrote earlier: “Patel is one of the most appropriate cabinet candidates, not right now, but of all time.”
“The defendant manufactured this story to discredit director Patel because of the clear animus of the defendant to director Patel,” his lawyers said.
“The defendant previously wrote,” Patel is one of the most unsuccessful cabinet candidates, not now, but of all time. “
“The defendant also wrote:” It is not only that Patel is completely qualified to lead the pre -eminent law of the law and the intelligence of the country and perhaps the world … The particular problem of Patel goes far beyond competition: his record shows no devotion to the Constitution, but a blind fidelity to Trump. “
The FBI director’s demand also stated that “as a partisan commentator (Figliuzzi) he was motivated to sensationalize and, in this case, to make a story to advance self-sufficient account, at the expense of Patel director.”
Patel representatives refused to comment.
The demand came only one month after MSNBC was forced to remove the demand from Figliuzzi on May 5.
“This was a wrong statement,” said Jonathan Lemire, MSNBC, at that time. “We have not verified this statement.”
NBC National Security Analyst and MSNBC had alleged that Patel’s absence from the FBI headquarters was “a blessing and a curse.”
“Because if you really try to do things without your experience, without any experience, things could be bad,” said Figliuzzi.
“If it is not connected, things could be bad. But it allows agents to execute things, so we do not know where this is going.”
Figliuzzi did not respond immediately to a comment request.
