*2019: $44 million suit vs. The New York Times (over Ukraine-related reporting on NSC concerns). Status: inactive or settled.
*2019: $25 million suit vs. Politico (similar Ukraine/NSC reporting). Status: appears to have concluded without major victory for Patel.
*2020: $50 million suit vs. CNN (over articles linking him to Biden conspiracy theories). Status: Dismissed by trial court; affirmed on appeal by Virginia Court of Appeals (January 2025) — Patel failed to plead "actual malice" as a public figure.
*2025: $250 million suit vs. Frank Figliuzzi (former FBI agent and MSNBC analyst) over claims that Patel spent more time in nightclubs than at FBI headquarters. Pending.

Federal judge just tossed this one.

It's not just a defamation suit; it's a bundle of AI cliches.

Kash Patel’s massive lawsuit against The Atlantic asserts dubious defamation claims, but could it also be… AI slop? The $250 million complaint filed in D.C. federal court — a necessity to avoid the anti-SLAPP laws that would almost certainly make this a financial albatross for Patel down the road — largely underwhelmed. Irrelevant preening, misspellings, and a complete disregard for the looming “actual malice” roadblock made the complaint look less like a serious defamation claim and more a desperate performative plea to convince Donald Trump that Patel is “a fighter” who doesn’t deserve to be kicked to the curb like so many other scandal-plagued administration officials.

Big Lie lawyer Jesse Binnall — who launched this case by promptly publicizing allegations that The Atlantic did NOT actually print, exposing his own client to claims they contend are defamatory — managed to get the lawsuit filed first thing on Monday.

Yep, the complaint absolutely wasn't written as a genuine complaint, it was written as a publicity piece. The preening in the complaint is massively unprofessional for an attorney.

Of course, the actual malice standard and higher evidentiary burden make this a non starter.

That’s a different one, but this one is likely to suffer the same fate.

+1 The one one thrown out is not against the Atlantic, but it's a preview of what will happen.

Last one out because he is sleeping it off in his office. What a douche.

Keg Patel's defamation lawsuit against CNBC commentator was dismissed by a Houston federal judge. This is the same thing that will happen to his latest defamation lawsuit.

Why does Kash always look like he’s high as a kite?

I think he looks terrified all the time. Does he have Graves' Disease?

Do you think Blanche likes and respects him? Wonder if Blanche is one of the Washington people that is unhappy with his behavior.

Are they allowed to use a lie detector while they ask him these questions? It would be funny if it buzzed everytime he lied like in the movies.

As if he took a lie detector test to get the job…
