A bombshell claim that FBI Director Kash Patel will be fired within five weeks has surfaced, sparking controversy and a fierce response from the embattled chief.
The claim comes after The Atlantic reported that Patel was 'paranoid' about losing his job and had a 'freak out' episode this month, citing sources and current and ex-officials.
Patel has pushed back at the report, calling it 'completely false' and threatening to take the outlet to court.
However, The Atlantic stands by its reporting, citing a volume of sourcing from current and former FBI officials that suggests real internal alarm about Patel's leadership of the bureau.
