US EditionTrump Reportedly Prepares to Fire FBI Director Kash Patel
- FBI Director Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic last week, calling the magazine's report 'hit-piece lies.' The suit comes amid reports that President Donald Trump is considering his removal.
- The Atlantic alleged two weeks ago that the director suffers paranoid 'freak-outs,' is often absent from work, and is 'regularly too drunk to do his job.' Patel denies these claims, citing political bias in the magazine's sources.
- On Tuesday, a Texas court dismissed Patel's similar defamation claim against Frank Figliuzzi, ruling 'The Complaint comes nowhere close to this standard' for proving actual malice. The decision signals legal obstacles ahead.
- Data from Kalshi shows a 54% probability that Patel will be removed before July 1, 2026, reflecting market uncertainty about his tenure. President Trump remains reportedly unhappy with the ongoing distractions.
- Despite the instability, Patel vowed last week that arrests are 'coming soon' and pledged to purge FBI agents who are 'anything less than loyal to the president.' His aggressive posture remains unchanged.
