Washington: Kash Patel or Kashyap P Patel, a close associate of Donald J. Trump with extensive experience in national security roles, has threatened a potential legal action against journalists if former president returns to power in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,\u201d Patel said. \u201cYes, we\u2019re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections \u2014 we\u2019re going to come after you. Whether it\u2019s criminally or civilly, we\u2019ll figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n He emphasized the intention to pursue legal action, either criminally or civilly, using the Constitution to address alleged crimes.\u201cWe\u2019re actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.\u201d<\/p>\n Patel, who served as Trump\u2019s counterterrorism adviser on the National Security Council and chief of staff to the acting secretary of defence, made these remarks during a podcast hosted by Stephen K. Bannon, Trump\u2019s former strategist, discussing the possibility of a second Trump presidency in 2025.<\/p>\n In contrast, Patel noted that the Trump team had a \u2018bench\u2019 of \u2018all-America patriots,\u2019 but he said he did not want to name any names \u2018so the radical left-wing media can terrorize them.\u2019<\/p>\n In response to these statements, a spokeswoman for Patel, Erica Knight, highlighted his commitment to following the facts and the law. Patel himself issued a statement, asserting that upon Trump\u2019s assumed presidency in 2025, they would prosecute anyone who broke the law and aim to end what he termed the \u201cweaponized, two-tier system of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s noteworthy that Patel rose from being a relatively unknown Capitol Hill staffer in the early days of the Trump administration to becoming one of Trump\u2019s most trusted aides and influential national security officials. Despite facing opposition to a proposed appointment as deputy director of the C.I.A. or the F.B.I., Patel remained closely associated with Trump even after leaving the government.<\/p>\n Patel served as the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and is responsible for leading the Secretary\u2019s mission at the Department. He also served as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism (CT) at the National Security Council (NSC).<\/p>\n Before joining the NSC, he served as the National Security Advisor and Senior Counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).<\/p>\n Since leaving government service, Patel has leveraged his Trump insider status, engaging in activities such as selling merchandise online and writing a children\u2019s book. Notably, he has filed defamation suits against media outlets and established a fundraising entity to \u201cfight the deep state\u201d and support lawsuits on behalf of individuals he claims have been \u201cdefamed\u201d by the \u201cfake news mafia.\u201d<\/p>\n A native of New York, Patel began his career as a public defender. He graduated from the University of Richmond before returning to New York to earn his law degree.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] Washington: Kash Patel or Kashyap P Patel, a close associate of Donald J.
