The FBI has mocked MS NOW after the US television network incorrectly reported that FBI Director Kash Patel had landed in Russia. The network later issued an on-air correction after the bureau said Patel was in Virginia.
MS NOW anchor Peter Alexander announced on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, that Patel had arrived in Russia for a meeting, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Patel was in Lynchburg, Virginia, attending a Law Enforcement Leadership and Student Roundtable at Liberty University with local law enforcement officials, prosecutors and students.
