Diretor do FBI, Kash Patel, processa a revista The Atlantic em US$ 250 milhões

O diretor do FBI, Kash Patel, abriu um processo de difamação de US$ 250 milhões contra a The Atlantic na segunda-feira, acusando a revista de publicar uma reportagem falsa sobre seu suposto consumo excessivo de álcool. O processo tem como alvo um artigo de sexta-feira, de autoria de Sarah Fitzpatrick, que citou autoridades anônimas alegando que a embriaguez de Patel teria causado interrupções no trabalho. Tanto Patel quanto a The Atlantic emitiram declarações enfáticas, negando e defendendo as alegações, respectivamente.

O diretor do FBI, Kash Patel, processou a The Atlantic por US$ 250 milhões em danos punitivos no Tribunal Distrital dos EUA em Washington, D.C., classificando o artigo da revista como uma 'peça de ataque abrangente, maldosa e difamatória'. A queixa de 19 páginas argumenta que a matéria baseou-se em fontes anônimas que eram parciais e desinformadas. Patel negou todas as alegações de má conduta, dizendo à Fox News: 'Se vocês querem atacar meu caráter, venham até mim, aceito o desafio, nos veremos no tribunal'. Ele acrescentou em suas redes sociais no dia 18 de abril: 'Memorando para as notícias falsas – a única vez que realmente me preocuparei com as mentiras que vocês escrevem sobre mim será quando vocês pararem'.
