I urge you to take immediate action to investigate Kash Patel’s involvement in an anti-FBI propaganda film funded by a Russian operative. A recent Mother Jones report exposes Patel’s undisclosed payments and participation in a project designed to weaken trust in U.S. law enforcement—an effort that directly aligns with Kremlin-backed disinformation campaigns. Given his past access to classified intelligence and close ties to Trump, Patel’s actions pose a significant national security risk.
The film, “Police State”, was not just an opinion piece—it was a targeted attack against the FBI, an institution critical to protecting our democracy from both foreign and domestic threats. That a former senior official with national security clearance was involved in such a project is alarming. Even more concerning is that a Russian operative provided financial backing, raising serious questions about Patel’s motives and potential legal violations.
This situation demands an immediate congressional investigation for several key reasons:
1. Foreign Interference in U.S. Politics – Patel’s involvement in a film funded by Russian interests suggests he may have knowingly or unknowingly participated in a foreign influence operation designed to destabilize American institutions.
2. Potential Violations of U.S. Law – If Patel received payments from foreign sources without proper disclosure, he could have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and other laws designed to prevent foreign influence in U.S. policy.
3. Threat to National Security – As someone with past access to classified intelligence, Patel’s willingness to collaborate on Russian-backed propaganda raises concerns about his loyalty and whether he still has access to sensitive information.
4. Efforts to Undermine Law Enforcement – Patel has a history of attacking the FBI, particularly its investigations into Trump’s Russia ties. This film is a continuation of that effort, designed to weaken trust in the institutions that safeguard our democracy.
I strongly urge you to:
• Support a full congressional investigation into Patel’s financial dealings and potential legal violations.
• Publicly oppose his confirmation to any government role related to national security, intelligence, or law enforcement.
• Demand transparency from the DOJ and relevant agencies about Patel’s actions and any ongoing investigations into his foreign ties.
This is not a partisan issue—it is a fundamental matter of protecting American democracy from foreign influence and those willing to aid our adversaries. Patel’s actions warrant serious scrutiny, and Congress must act swiftly to ensure accountability.
Thank you for your leadership in safeguarding our national security. I look forward to your response and to seeing action taken on this urgent matter.
