Kash Patel was paid by Russian filmmaker with Kremlin ties: Washington Post

Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by Igor Lopatonok, a Russian filmmaker with Kremlin ties, as reported by The Washington Post.
Patel participated in a documentary portraying him and former Trump allies as victims of a conspiracy against Trump, which aired on Tucker Carlson's network.
Concerns have been raised about Patel's nomination for FBI Director due to his financial ties to a Kremlin-linked individual and his extremist views, according to Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Patel's spokesperson stated that he has complied with all financial disclosure requirements during his confirmation process, as confirmed by the Office of Government Ethics and the Department of Justice.
