The Atlantic reporter who broke a wild story about FBI Director Kash Patel said senior officials in the Trump administration are “openly discussing” his successor. On Friday, the publication ran a piece by Sarah Fitzpatrick, who reported that last week, Patel believed he had been fired by President Donald Trump after he was locked out of an FBI computer system: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” It turned out the lockout was due to a technical issue, according to two people familiar with the matter. The report also alleges that Patel has been intoxicated in public on multiple occasions, and said the director’s security detail has had difficulty waking him at times because he was too drunk. In one incident, the security detail reportedly needed SWAT team “breaching equipment” to enter his room. A spokesperson for the FBI called the report “fabricated” and said a lawsuit is being filed. Shortly after the story ran, Fitzpatrick, who earlier this month reported that Patel was at risk of losing his job, appeared on CNN to discuss her story. “Based on what you’re hearing, is your understanding that that is still the case?” Boris Sanchez asked. “So, people close to the director have said that he himself has expressed that he believes that he is about to be fired or that is imminent,” Fitzpatrick replied, before adding that top administration officials are already discussing who will replace Patel. “So, yes, this is widely, widely discussed, I think, within Washington, behind closed doors,” she added. “In fact, there are senior administration officials who are openly discussing who will be the next FBI director.” “Wow,” Sanchez replied.

Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel was convinced that President Donald Trump had fired him after he was unable to access the bureau’s internal computer system, The Atlantic reported on Friday. Patel was so convinced he had been terminated, he hurriedly called FBI staff and informed them he had been fired. News of the apparent personnel move quickly made its way through the FBI and Congress, and bureau employees and members of Congress phoned the White House to ask who was leading the nation’s top law enforcement agency: On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” Patel oversees an agency that employs roughly 38,000 people, including many who are trained to investigate and verify information that can be presented under oath in a court of law. News of his emotional outburst ricocheted through the bureau, prompting chatter among officials and, in some corners of the building, expressions of relief. The White House fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI. Patel is still in charge of the FBI, of course, but is reportedly concerned about his job security. Earlier this month, The Atlantic reported that Patel is one of several administration officials who could be on the chopping block. Friday’s Atlantic story also stated that Patel has drunk “to the point of obvious intoxication” in public, often at Ned’s in Washington, D.C., and at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas, where he lives. On occasion, the FBI has even reportedly had to reschedule meetings “as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights, six current and former officials and others familiar with Patel’s schedule” told The Atlantic. In some cases, the director’s FBI security detail had difficulty waking him because he was so drunk. In one incident, the FBI had to use “breaching equipment” of the sort SWAT teams use: On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago - Trump Tells Audience He Saved UFO Announcement ‘For This Crowd’ Because ‘Y...President Donald Trump told his audience at a Turning Point Action event on Friday that he had saved a special UFO announcement especially “for this crowd” because they’re “a little bit out there.” Headlining the “Build the Red Wall” event in Phoenix on Friday, the president used a digression in his speech to tease the release of government files on unidentified aerial phenomena, which he’d ordered the Department of Defense and other agencies to prepare for in February. “As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War – how good is Pete Hegseth doing by the way? – to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena,” Trump told the cheering crowd. Noting the excitement, the president said, “And I figured this was a good crowd, because I know you people, you’re really into that. I don’t know if I am. So I’m pleased to report today, I thought I’d save it for this crowd, because you’re a little bit out there, you know, a little.” Hinting that the release would begin imminently and promising some “interesting” disclosures, he continued: “This process is well underway, and we found many very interesting documents, I’m gonna say. And the first releases will begin very, very soon, so you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct.” Trump closed by encouraging supporters to dig in on the material directly and bring him the truth: “You’ll figure it out. Let me know. Let me know. But we’ve had a lot of questions. It’s something that really captivates the mind. There’s no question about it.” Watch above via X.The post Trump Tells Audience He Saved UFO Announcement ‘For This Crowd’ Because ‘You’re a Little Bit Out There’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Ann Coulter Mocks Trump Reopening the Strait: ‘Everybody Pretend This is a Hug...
Evan Agostini/Invision & mpi34/MediaPunch/IPX via AP Longtime conservative pundit Ann Coulter mocked President Donald Trump’s announcement on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened. “Yay. The Strait that was open before we began bombing Iran is open again,” Coulter wrote on social media, adding, “Everybody pretend this is a huge victory for Trump so he’ll end this catastrophe.” Trump’s claims on Friday that he and Iran were close to reaching a deal to end the war for good were quickly put into question by statements made by Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported, “Iran has told mediators it will continue to limit the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls for the remaining period of the cease-fire, officials familiar with the matter said. Vessels that pass through the waterway will need to coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.” The Bulwark’s Sam Stein quipped as the day went on, “This might come as a shock to most, but it appears that Trump’s depiction of the deal struck with Iran is not the same as Iran’s depiction of the deal.” While many in the media were quick to shade Trump’s optimism in ending the war, some jumped on board with Coulter’s post. Glenn Greenwald replied back to Coulter, “Seriously: organize a victory parade for Trump in the Rose Garden for getting the “Strait of Iran” opened for the first time in history, then give him another bust of his head in the shape of some tacky Churchill bust sitting on Mark Levin’s Fox shelf, and call it a day.”The post Ann Coulter Mocks Trump Reopening the Strait: ‘Everybody Pretend This is a Huge Victory’ first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Alex Brandon Despite President Donald Trump’s assurances Friday that the Strait of Hormuz is “fully open” to tanker traffic, Iranian officials told mediators that’s not completely accurate, according to a new report. The Wall Street Journal reported, “Iran has told mediators it will continue to limit the number of ships allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls for the remaining period of the cease-fire, officials familiar with the matter said.” “Only some commercial ships will be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the condition of paying tolls,” Mahmoud Nabavian said. Nabavian is a conservative lawmaker and member of the negotiating team. Ali Khezrian, a member of Iran’s National Security Commission in Parliament, confirmed the report to the Journal. Under Iran’s proposal, it will be incumbent on tankers passing through the strait to “coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” before being allowed through, the report said. In addition, Iran plans to block ships sailing from countries it considers “hostile.” Trump wrote a variety of posts on Friday touting victory in the strait, but claiming the U.S. blockade would continue. “Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!” Trump wrote. Trump used Truth Social to deny an Axios report that claimed the U.S. was considering releasing $20 billion in frozen funds to Iran if the Islamic Republic hands over its uranium. “The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear ‘Dust,’ created by our great B2 Bombers – No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form,” Trump wrote. Although nothing has been formalized, and a second round of peace talks will take place this weekend in Islamabad, CBS News’s Weijia Jian reported that Trump told her Friday that Iran has “agreed to everything,” including the removal of its enriched uranium. Trump added that the radioactive material will be brought to the U.S. “Our people, together with the Iranians, are going to work together to go get it. And then we’ll take it to the United States,” he said. However, Iranian officials told state TV that removal of its uranium was “not an option.” “Iran’s enriched uranium is not going to be transferred anywhere; transferring uranium to the United States has not been an option for us,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told state TV.The post Iran Says Strait… [TheTopNews] Read More.7 hours ago
