Patel says he'll sue Atlantic for defamation over report on heavy drinking [View all]

FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday that he will sue The Atlantic for defamation after the magazine published a Friday story detailing his alleged drinking habits and absences from the bureau.

“Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow,” he told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” about the forthcoming lawsuit.

The FBI director later said he would sue for defamation and vowed to “fight back against the fake news.”

The magazine published a story on Friday titled “The FBI Director Is MIA,” citing conversations with more than two dozen people, including current and former FBI officials, members of Congress, hospitality industry workers and others.
