FBI denies investigating Atlantic journalist behind harsh piece on Kash Patel

The FBI on Wednesday denied an MS NOW report that the bureau is investigating the reporter behind a controversial "hit piece" on Director Kash Patel.

Citing two people familiar with the matter, MS NOW reported the FBI has "launched a criminal leak investigation focusing on an Atlantic magazine journalist who wrote a deeply unflattering account last month of Director Kash Patel's work habits."
