Direktur FBI Kash Patel gugat The Atlantic sebesar $250 juta

Direktur FBI Kash Patel mengajukan gugatan pencemaran nama baik senilai $250 juta terhadap The Atlantic pada hari Senin, menuduh majalah tersebut menerbitkan berita bohong mengenai tuduhan dirinya yang sering mabuk. Gugatan tersebut menyasar artikel hari Jumat karya Sarah Fitzpatrick yang mengutip pejabat anonim yang mengklaim bahwa kondisi mabuk Patel menyebabkan gangguan dalam pekerjaan. Patel dan The Atlantic masing-masing mengeluarkan pernyataan tegas untuk menyangkal dan membela klaim tersebut.

Direktur FBI Kash Patel menggugat The Atlantic sebesar $250 juta sebagai ganti rugi punitif di Pengadilan Distrik AS di Washington, D.C., menyebut artikel majalah tersebut sebagai 'serangan tulisan yang luas, jahat, dan mencemarkan nama baik.' Keluhan setebal 19 halaman tersebut berargumen bahwa cerita itu mengandalkan sumber anonim yang partisan dan tidak mendapat informasi yang benar. Patel telah membantah semua tuduhan pelanggaran tersebut, dengan mengatakan kepada Fox News, 'Jika kalian ingin menyerang karakter saya, hadapi saya, ayo lakukan, saya akan temui kalian di pengadilan.' Ia menambahkan di media sosial pada 18 April, 'Memo untuk berita palsu – satu-satunya saat saya akan benar-benar peduli dengan kebohongan dalam berita serangan yang kalian tulis tentang saya adalah ketika kalian berhenti melakukannya.'
