El director del FBI, Kash Patel, demanda a The Atlantic por 250 millones de dólares

El director del FBI, Kash Patel, presentó el lunes una demanda por difamación de 250 millones de dólares contra The Atlantic, acusando a la revista de publicar una historia falsa sobre su presunto consumo excesivo de alcohol. La demanda tiene como objetivo un artículo publicado el viernes por Sarah Fitzpatrick, que citó a funcionarios anónimos que afirmaban que la embriaguez de Patel provocaba interrupciones en el trabajo. Tanto Patel como The Atlantic emitieron declaraciones contundentes negando y defendiendo las acusaciones, respectivamente.

El director del FBI, Kash Patel, demandó a The Atlantic por 250 millones de dólares en concepto de daños punitivos ante el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos en Washington, D.C., calificando el artículo de la revista como un 'artículo difamatorio, malicioso y de ataque generalizado'. La demanda de 19 páginas sostiene que la historia se basó en fuentes anónimas que eran partidistas y estaban mal informadas. Patel ha negado todas las acusaciones de mala conducta y declaró a Fox News: 'Si quieren atacar mi carácter, vengan por mí, adelante, los veré en los tribunales'. El 18 de abril agregó en redes sociales: 'Memo para las noticias falsas: la única vez que realmente me preocuparé por las mentiras de los ataques que escriben sobre mí será cuando dejen de hacerlo'.
