Politico's Dasha Burns Reports It's Only a Matter of Time' Before Kash Patel is Canned

"A top White House official tells me that Kash Patel is likely the next Cabinet-level official to go. It's only a matter of time. There are several reasons, the official said, but top among them is the number of negative stories centered on Patel is not a good look for a Cabinet secretary, and Trump is fed up with the level of distraction."

"Patel recently filed a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic after staff writer Sarah Fitzpatrick's article claiming he had alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences. The Atlantic responded to Patel's lawsuit by stating, We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit."

"Patel came under scrutiny in February when he was filmed enthusiastically chugging a beer with the U.S.A. Men's Olympic Hockey Team after they won the gold in Milan, Italy. The FBI director put the incident down to being a proud American."

Kash Patel is reportedly on the verge of being dismissed from his Cabinet position, according to a top White House official. The official cited numerous negative stories surrounding Patel as a significant factor in this decision. Speculation about Patel's job security increased following the recent firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan. Patel has also filed a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic over claims of excessive drinking and erratic behavior, which the publication stands by. His public behavior, including a beer-drinking incident with the U.S.A. Men's Olympic Hockey Team, has drawn scrutiny.
