Politico Accused Of Conspiring With Adam Schiff For Leaks Of False Information Before Being Sued, now the White House NSC’s senior counter-terrorism director, Kash Patel, a former staffer of Devin Nunes, is suing Politico and accusing them of conspiring with Schiff to leak false information about him.

speaking According to Patel, Adam Schiff “acted in concert” with Politico to defame him in what he calls “lying, deceit and unethical conduct.” Devin Nunes himself is also involved in a lawsuit. Devin Nunes of California has filed a lawsuit claiming a left-leaning transparency nonprofit conspired with a research firm to damage his reputation.

now the lawsuit in federal court in Alexandria follows two that Nunes filed in state court against parody Twitter accounts, Twitter, a Republican strategist and the media company McClatchy for reporting on or mocking him.

Also as we speak In the federal suit, Devin Nunes says ethics complaints filed by the Campaign for Accountability are retaliation for his work on the House Intelligence Committee, in which he has repeatedly impugned the integrity of the firm Fusion GPS and the credibility of a dossier a researcher hired by the firm compiled on President Donald Trump’s alleged connections to Russia.

Now according to FoxNews, a White House official on Monday sued Politico and one of its reporters over stories and tweets that he says falsely accuse him of “lying, deceit and unethical conduct.” Kash Patel, the National Security Council’s senior counter terrorism director, is seeking more than $25 million in damages in the suit filed in Virginia.

We have reached out to Politico for comment. The lawsuit also names Natasha Bertrand, a Politico reporter and MSNBC contributor, as well as Politico owner Robert Allbritton.

The allegations, which center on what the president was told about the situation in Ukraine, go to the heart of the case for impeachment. While Politico is the nominal target of the suit, it represents an aggressive attempt by a presidential aide to put Adam Schiff’s handling of the impeachment inquiry itself on trial.

Describing the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee as “a demagogue with an ax to grind against the president,” Patel portrays Adam Schiff as running roughshod over rules and interviewing witnesses “to create click-bait headlines and soundbites to feed to his co-conspirators and media sympathizers.”


Also the suit stems from Bertrand’s Oct. 23 story, headlined “Devin Nunes Protege Fed Ukraine Info to Donald Trump.”

Patel previously worked for Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, spearheading the Intel Committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, before joining the White House in February.

Furthermore The Politico piece said Patel “was among those passing negative information about Ukraine to President Trump earlier this year, fueling the president’s belief that Ukraine was brimming with corruption and interfered in the 2016 election on behalf of Democrats.” Patel was “so involved in the issue,” the story said, that “at one point President Trump thought he was in charge of Ukraine policy for the National Security Council.”

This was attributed to closed-door House testimony by Fiona Hill,” a former NSC official. What’s more, Politico said, “Patel’s involvement demonstrates that the president had at least some support for the scheme from within the NSC” — the scheme being to pressure Ukraine into investigations that would help Donald Trump in a political sense.
