FBI Director Kash Patel announced he is ending the bureau's partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, saying he disliked former FBI Director James Comey's approving comments about the Jewish advocacy group.
"James Comey wrote 'love letters' to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them," Patel alleged in the Oct. 1 post on X. He accused the organization of spying on Americans, without providing specific details.
The Anti-Defamation League, which describes itself as the "leading anti-hate organization in the world" with a mission to stop the defamation of Jewish people and secure justice for all, said in a statement that it has "deep respect for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement officers at all levels across the country."
"In light of an unprecedented surge of antisemitism, we remain more committed than ever to our core purpose to protect the Jewish people," the league said.
