US EditionFBI Director Kash Patel Criticizes MSNBC, Calling It a Source of Disinformation
FBI Director Kash Patel challenges MSNBC's report on DOJ perp walk policy after an agent was fired for refusing to perp walk indicted former FBI Director James Comey.
- On October 4, 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel publicly attacked MSNBC, calling it an `ass clown factory of disinformation` after an exchange with Barb McQuade, MSNBC legal analyst.
- MSNBC reported an FBI agent in the Washington field office was fired for refusing to arrest and `perp walk` James Comey, and Barb McQuade said DOJ policy prohibits such `perp walks` per a 2011 U.S. Marshals directive.
- Highlighting past arrests, Patel and allies noted MSNBC had `slobbered all over` perp walks of conservative figures, while Roger Stone and Steve Baker shared their public arrest photos in response.
- Patel did not deny reports the relieved FBI agent was disciplined, saying agents must `follow the chain of command or get relieved`, and the Washington Examiner received no comment from the FBI or DOJ.
- The legal backdrop includes a 2000 New York court ruling that staged `perp walks` violate the Fourth Amendment, amid Comey's September 25th indictment, highlighting legal limits on arrest practices.
