Kash Patel terminates FBI's relationship with the ADL after group listed Charlie Kirk's Turning Point as 'extremist'
FBI director Kash Patel has terminated the bureau’s partnership with the Anti-Defamation League following anger from MAGA over the group’s decision to list Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA as “extremist.”
The FBI had an intelligence-sharing and training partnership with the group, which campaigns to fight antisemitism, but now Patel has pulled the plug on the arrangement.
Patel also accused the organization of “spying” on conservative groups.
In 2019, the ADL — whose core mission is to combat defamation against Jewish people and organizations — published a since-deleted highly critical backgrounder page about the organization and its late leader, accusing Turning Point of promoting “Christian nationalism” and detailing the group’s ties to “far-right extremists and white nationalists.”

Shouldn't be surprised. The Trump administration has no loyalty to anyone.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Wednesday that his agency is cutting all ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) over its criticism of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Patel said the era of the FBI and ADL working together is “over” and he slammed former FBI Director James Comey, who was recently indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly lying under oath to Congress.
“James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans,” Patel said. “That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger.”
