Horrible Leftist Hack Messes Around and Finds Out: Kash Patel Slaps Turncoat Mike Pence Advisor, Olivia Troye, with Legal Notice for Defamation
In yet another example of the left’s desperate attempts to smear President-elect Donald Trump’s allies, Olivia Troye, a former advisor to turncoat Mike Pence, is facing the heat after making outrageous defamatory statements about Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel.
But Olivia Troye, who has gained notoriety for her venomous tirades against her former colleagues, appeared on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show to launch a tirade against Patel.
Olivia Troye:
I worked with Kash in the White House. I was Vice President Mike Pence’s counterterrorism advisor, so I had to coordinate with Kash a lot. Kash Patel is a delusional liar. Let me just be very clear about that. He would lie about intelligence. He would lie about making things up on operations. I think Mark Esper has talked about that as well, where he put the lives of Navy SEALs at risk in an operation when it came to Nigeria.
These are things that actually were happening in real-time when he was in the role of CT Coordinator in the White House. I know this because, at some point, I realized that I needed to double-check Kash’s work to make sure that I wasn’t misinforming Mike Pence by relying on his word, so I had to go around him.
This is a guy who openly has contempt for people in national security, especially for people at DOJ and the FBI. He made open comments like this. I think there is a little bit of fear here from people where they know that someone like Kash Patel is fully capable of just doing partisan investigations, whatever it takes.
It will be insane if he becomes the director of the FBI. I fear for the law enforcement personnel there who are going to have to navigate this. Quite honestly, when I look at Kash Patel in combination with what Pam Bondi is going to do if she gets in as AG—is that top cover for him? These are all the things that concern me when I see all of these names being proposed for different positions. This is a very real risk and to the detriment of Americans.
In response, Patel’s legal team wasted no time, delivering a hard-hitting letter demanding Troye retract her defamatory statements within five business days. The letter exposed Troye’s allegations as “complete fabrications” and accused her of knowingly spreading lies to malign Patel’s reputation for personal gain.
The letter also placed Troye on notice to preserve all documents, communications, and evidence related to her false claims.
The letter reads:
This law firm represents Kashyap Patel. Litigation will be filed against you if you fail to publicly retract defamatory statements you made about Mr. Patel on MSNBC on December 2, 2024. Be further advised that you should identity and preserve all hard copy and electronically stored documents, information, and data that relate, in any way, to Mr. Patel and to your statements about him on MSNBC.
On December 2, 2024, you appeared as a live guest on MSNBC and made several false and defamatory statements about Mr. Patel. These comments include that Mr. Patel would “lie about intelligence” and would “lie about making things up on operations” to the point where Mr. Patel “put the lives of Navy Seals at risk when it came to Nigeria” and that Mr. Patel was even misinforming Vice President, Mike Pence.
This is a complete fabrication, and you know it is false by virtue of your former position in the White House. At no point did Jir. Patel ever lie about national intelligence, place Navy Seals at risk, or misinform the Vice President. Not only did you have actual knowledge of the falsity of this smear, but you also did so with the malicious intent of degrading his character and of cynical self-promotion.
This is, of course, not the first time you have milked your former title as a means of spreading lies about associates of President Donald J. Trump. You are already embroiled in a lawsuit for your disgusting lies about Ambassador Ric Grenell on Twitter.
