FBI Rips MS NOW Over Kash Patel Russia Report: ‘Sources Are Familiar With Nothing’
The bureau further accuses the news network of spinning "BS narratives to try and diminish the accomplishments of law enforcement" The post FBI Rips MS NOW Over Kash Patel Russia Report: ‘Sources Are Familiar With Nothing’ appeared first on TheWrap .
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has responded sharply to MS NOW's erroneous reporting that claimed Kash Patel, an FBI official, was in Russia. In reality, Patel was present at Liberty University for a law enforcement appreciation event. MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian initially reported that two unnamed sources told them Patel had arrived in Russia for an ongoing trip.
However, after further investigation, it was determined that Patel had not landed in Russia and remained in the United States. The FBI quickly corrected the story, stating that MS NOW's "sources are familiar with NOTHING!" The bureau's response was posted on their official X account, with a graphic displaying the truth about Patel's location.
The FBI also addressed the timing of any potential trip, noting that it remained unclear. Additionally, the FBI emphasized their consistent stat counting process, which has remained unchanged for over 20 years, including for state and local arrests involving FBI investigative equity. MS NOW previously criticized Patel's statistics regarding the FBI's performance under the Biden administration, labeling them as "basically bogus."
