A second Donald Trump administration will take action “criminally or civilly” against people in the media, an ally of the former U.S. president warned.
“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in the government, but in the media, yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media, who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig the elections, we’re going to come after you,” Kash Patel said on Steve Bannon’s podcast, referring to a potential second Trump leadership.
“Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out, but yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.”
He added that a new Trump administration would have to “put in all-American patriots top to bottom.”
Patel previously served as chief advisor to the secretary of defense and as counterterrorism advisor on the National Security Council.
