Story summary
  • U.S. President Donald Trump installed Kash Patel and allies in DOJ and FBI, initiating a “conspiracy” probe.
  • Patel claimed evidence room at FBI headquarters and sought to charge FBI director James B. Comey and John O. Brennan with congressional lies.
  • Department of Justice (DOJ) veterans called probe a Frankenstein’s monster, saying it tried to link the 2016 Russian-interference case, the 2020 election and appointment of Jack Smith as a cabal.
