A federal judge has thrown out a defamation lawsuit FBI Director Kash Patel brought against an ex-FBI employee.
Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi had said Patel has “been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of” the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. He made the comments on the MS NOW show Morning Joe.
A federal judge in Houston on Tuesday dismissed Patel’s defamation lawsuit. “The Court finds that Figliuzzi’s statement is rhetorical hyperbole that cannot constitute defamation,” U.S. District Court Judge George Hanks Jr. wrote in the decision.
