Kash Patel Once Claim:
He Was the “Lead Prosecutor” on Benghazi
What he claimed

On the Shawn Ryan podcast, Patel said:
“I was the main justice lead prosecutor for Benghazi.”
In his 2023 book Government Gangsters, he wrote:
“I was leading the prosecution’s efforts at main justice in Washington DC.”
Where this was challenged
Reporting by The New York Times
Comments from DOJ officials and a retired FBI agent
How it was allegedly misrepresented
He was not the lead prosecutor.
He joined the DOJ counterterrorism section after the investigation began.
He left six months before the first Benghazi case went to trial.
Sources said his role was administrative:
Identifying and transmitting materials to defense teams
Handling paperwork
A retired FBI agent said:
“It was such a small group and Patel wasn’t in it. I would know.”
