Media Miss by the left: Patel says FBI has evidence backing Trump’s 2020 stolen election claims

FBI Director Kash Patel said arrests are imminent in what he called a “de facto coup” linked to the 2020 election.

In a Sunday interview with Fox News, Patel said the FBI has information supporting the president’s longstanding claims that the election was rigged but declined to provide details, citing an ongoing investigation.

“We have the information that backs President Trump’s claim, but because it’s an ongoing prosecution investigation, I can’t get ahead of the DOJ and the president,” Patel said. “But President Trump — President Trump speaks truthfully when he says that.”

Patel added, “Stay tuned this week. You might see a thing or two.”

The FBI and DOJ are adjusting hiring requirements to fill staffing gaps. 

The FBI is rolling out a nine-week training track for internal transfers and waiving certain assessments for support staff seeking to become agents.

The Justice Department has also suspended a policy requiring at least one year of experience for prosecutors and is now hiring candidates directly from law school.
