FBI Director Kash Patel dunked on MS NOW for peddling a fake news story about having to cancel a trip to see his girlfriend play at a music festival.
The far-left outlet reported that Kash Patel had to abruptly cancel his flight to Chicago after he was summoned to the White House.
FBI Director Kash Patel abruptly cancelled a planned flight Friday to see his girlfriend in Chicago this weekend, after top administration officials frustrated with Patel summoned him to the White House, according to two people with knowledge of the change.
The precise reasons that Patel’s political bosses demanded he cancel his trip and report to the West Wing are unclear, but several people said top Trump deputies were disturbed by a range of actions by Patel. Some found it confounding that the FBI director was leaving town amid the recent revival of the war with Iran and alleged threats against the president’s life, according to a person familiar with efforts to help Patel rebuild trust with the White House. For this article, people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive internal matter.
Others cited two unforced errors by Patel that created bad optics for the Trump administration, the first being his early morning tweet bashing MS NOW for its coverage of his high-flying lifestyle, they said, in which Patel boasted: “my jet ski is gold plated…dumbass.”

The FBI blasted MS NOW for lying to get clicks.
This is a complete and total lie, but we would expect nothing less than a failing outlet trying to get clicks!

2. Multiple official FBI visits were planned in Chicago
3. Called to WH for official business…you liars will find out soon!

Kash Patel responded later Friday.
“The only thing worse than MS NOW’s garbage rebrand is their reporting – all false except one thing – I was at the White House, true, and the fake news will find out why soon,” Kash Patel said
