FBI Director Kash Patel says agency has evidence backing Trump’s 2020 stolen-election claims

Patel said the bureau has information supporting Trump’s claim, but he would not disclose it because it is tied to an ongoing Justice Department case.

  • On Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that criminal arrests are imminent for figures involved in what he termed a "de facto coup" against President Donald Trump, alleging efforts to rig the 2020 election.
  • Patel claimed investigators now possess "all the information we need" from restricted computer files deliberately hidden to conceal evidence of a system built over 20 and 30 years.
  • Vowing on Monday to file a defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, Patel denied allegations regarding his conduct, stating he will not "take this lying down."
  • Working alongside Attorney General Todd Blanche and Department of Justice prosecutors, Patel confirmed the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is underway, signaling it is just the beginning.
  • Meanwhile, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is opposing Department of Justice attempts to seize Detroit area 2024 election ballots, accusing the administration of sowing fresh electoral doubt.
