Patel penned what he called “the first ever children’s Russiagate book,” which bizarrely pushed Trump falsehoods on kids.
Patel, a lawyer who served in roles at the National Security Council, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Defense during Trump’s previous term, used his exit from government to pivot to full-time MAGA sycophant and pitchman, often under the moniker “K$H.”
Among the many Trump-themed items he’s pitched on social media is a “beautiful” laser-engraved piece of wood with the logo of Truth Social, which is majority-owned by Trump. The first book in the series—which Patel described as “the first ever children’s Russiagate book”—ludicrously uses children’s literature to assert Trump’s false claim that the FBI started investigating his 2016 campaign’s alleged ties to Russia based on the Steele Dossier., the FBI opened an investigation after George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign advisor, told an Australian diplomat that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Zeteo editor-in-chief Medhi Hasan did a deep dive into Patel in 2022, when he was a host at MSNBC, and reminisced Saturday that he came away with the impression of a “deeply strange and alarming and sycophantic figure.”
