FBI Director Kash Patel has had his $10 million lawsuit against a California blogger who insulted him thrown out by a Nevada federal judge.
As reported by New Republic, Patel had brought the claim against Jim Stewartson in Nevada in 2023 for defamation, injurious falsehood, and business disparagement. The complaint said that Stewartson had called Patel a “blatantly incompetent chud”, a “googly-eyed Kremlin b—h”, that he had “planned 1/6”, that he is “guilty of sedition”, and that he and his foundation paid people to “lie to congress”.
