Kash Patel Keeps Suing the Press

Kash Patel, a former F.B.I. official, has adopted a legal strategy reminiscent of President Trump's approach, filing numerous defamation lawsuits. In nearly seven years, Patel has filed six such lawsuits against various news media companies and commentators. This approach is seen as a tactic to counter criticism and negative coverage. Patel's lawsuits reflect a broader trend of public figures using defamation claims to target the press.
