EXCLUSIVE: realDonaldTrump loyalist Kash Patel denies Jan. 6 testimony he was briefly installed as CIA director
Kash Patel, who was selected to be the chief of staff to then-acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller in November 2020, told the Washington Examiner in an interview that he was never installed in any capacity at the CIA despite discussions from the Trump administration.
Patel criticized Griffin for the unverified claim, saying,"It's amazing that a communications director would have any insight [into] what's going on in the national security apparatus of the United States, especially when she was in zero meetings involving any of these discussions. What I can say and will say is that, you know ... with President Trump, there was always conversations about moving people in personnel around to execute national security priorities.
Patel noted that many of the conversations about him moving to the CIA were not in"the waning hours" of the administration, though there was another incident in December that sparked such questions. Mike Lindell, the MyPillow founder who became a vocal Trump election denier, visited the president in the Oval Office, and he was photographed holding a note that read,"Move Kash Patel to CIA Acting.
