"Patel alleges that the Atlantic published statements with actual malice, falsely asserting he is a habitual drunk and unable to perform his duties, compromising national security."
"The article's claims include that Patel's security detail had difficulty waking him due to intoxication and that breaching equipment was requested to access him behind locked doors."
Kash Patel has initiated a $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick, alleging the publication of false statements regarding his character and professional conduct. The article claims he is a habitual drunk, a threat to public safety, and has engaged in unethical behavior. Reports indicate that his security detail struggled to wake him due to intoxication, and there were requests for breaching equipment to access him when he was unreachable. These claims add to previously known controversies surrounding Patel's conduct.
