Exclusive: Kash Patel, a former Russiagate investigator on the House Intel Committee and senior White House official, says US intelligence leaders blocked the release of documents that expose more malpractice and critical evidentiary holes in their claims of sweeping “Russian interference.” Patel also singles out the FBI’s “outrageous” reliance on Crowdstrike, and the burying of testimony that the firm had no concrete evidence.

As a senior House Intel investigator and Trump administration official, Kash Patel helped unearth critical misconduct by the intelligence officials who carried out the Trump-Russia probe.
In his first extended interview since leaving government, Patel tells Aaron Maté that still-classified documents expose more malpractice, as well as major evidentiary holes in the pivotal and largely unquestioned claims of a sweeping Russian interference campaign to elect Trump in 2016.
Friday’s action rescinds a 2018 memo issued by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“This memorandum makes it clear that the department will use all appropriate legal authorities to safeguard civil rights and protect the environment, consistent with longstanding departmental practice and informed expertise of the department’s career workforce,” Mr. Garland said in a statement.
Consent decrees, which are court-enforceable agreements requiring departments accused of civil rights violations to shape up, were a tool used by the Obama administration to curtail patterns of police abuse.
The Obama-era Justice Department had reached agreements with departments in Ferguson, Missouri, after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown and in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.
