Nearly 30k+ sign petition to investigate FBI Director Kash Patel

WASHINGTON– In response to reports today that the FBI is pursuing a politically motivated shakedown to obtain the sources a reporter used in reporting on FBI Director Kash Patel’s ethical violations and has raided the office of Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas, who led the effort to redraw the state’s congressional maps in response to the desperate power grabs of Trump and Republicans to choose their voters ahead of the midterm elections, MoveOn Civic Action spokesperson Joel Payne released the following statement:

“Sending the FBI after political opponents or media outlets cannot distract us from how much of a failure the Trump presidency has been. The desperation is as obvious as it is ominous.”

Nearly 30,000 MoveOn members have already called on Kash Patel to be investigated as FBI director.
