Enraged Trump appointee sues media for reporting on his drunkeness. His lawyer is a "legal clown." - LGBTQ Nation
"Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for $250 million over its recent bombshell article which cited over 24 sources alleging Patel's heavy drinking, chronic absenteeism, and erratic behavior."
"Binnall has a bit of a 'losing streak' when it comes to these cases, having previously filed a defamation suit against CNN that was withdrawn before a judge ever heard it."
"Legal discovery in Nunes' lawsuit proved that his farm did, in fact, use undocumented labor, leading to the case being tossed out by a federal judge in 2023."
"Wilson called Patel's lawyer part of 'Trump's post-2020 legal clown show' who failed to deliver on Trump's false claims to overturn that year's presidential election."
Kashyap Patel, appointed by Donald Trump as FBI director, is suing The Atlantic for $250 million over claims of heavy drinking and erratic behavior. His lawyer, Jesse Binnall, has faced challenges in previous defamation cases, including a lawsuit against CNN that was withdrawn and another dismissed by federal judges. Binnall's legal history includes representing Devin Nunes in a case that revealed his farm's use of undocumented labor. Critics label Binnall as part of a 'legal clown show' associated with Trump's post-2020 legal efforts, which have been largely unsuccessful.
