Kash Patel files defamation lawsuit against Atlantic
FBI Director Kash Patel has filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, citing false and damaging claims.
Justice Department officials announced Tuesday that they have indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center, a well-known civil rights organization, on charges related to “funding, not dismantling, extremism.”
USA TODAY has reached out to the law center for comment.
「私たちが情報提供者と協力し始めたとき、私たちは公民権運動の最盛期の影の中に生きていた。そこでは教会への爆破事件、デモ参加者に対する国家主導の暴力、そして司法制度が解決しなかった活動家の殺害などが見られた」とフェア氏は語ったという。 “There is no question that what we learned from our informants saved lives.”
The civil rights organization was founded in 1971 and became a notable opponent of the KKK.オンラインでの過激主義の台頭を受けて、この組織は、インターネット上で反ユダヤ主義の憎悪を共有したとしてオルタナ右翼の人物に対する訴訟を追及するために活動を転換した。
The group has fallen out of favor under the Trump administration.パテル氏は、同団体の専門家が長年にわたってヘイトクライムや国内過激派の捜査で法執行機関を支援してきたことを受け、昨年同団体との関係を断絶した。
Mr Patel said the legal community was the first target, but other charges could be forthcoming.
