Kash Patel received a massive gift from Trump's media company before his hearing
- The man Donald Trump nominated to be FBI director just received hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock from Trump Media.
The article from MSNBC's "The Reidout" blog discusses Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, who has been accused of using his influence to benefit from Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social. Patel, who served in various roles including at the National Security Council and as chief of staff to the acting Defense Secretary, reportedly received a significant number of shares in TMTG as a gift from Donald Trump. This move has raised ethical concerns, especially given Patel's history of pushing conspiracy theories and his involvement in controversial political activities. Critics argue that this stock gift could be seen as a reward for loyalty or an attempt to curry favor, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and the intertwining of political power with personal financial gain. The article also touches on Patel's legal battles, including a defamation lawsuit against Politico, and his ongoing efforts to influence media narratives in favor of Trump.
