00:00FBI Director Cash Patel cuts ties with ADL, slams Comey's love letters to group.
00:06FBI Director Cash Patel announced this week that the Bureau is formally ending its partnership with the Anti-Defamation League,
00:13breaking away from a relationship that began under former director James Comey.
00:18James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing love letters to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization, Patel told Fox News Digital.
00:28It was activism dressed up as counterterrorism.
00:32That era is finished.
00:33Comey's ties to the ADL were well known.
00:37In 2017, he told the group's National Leadership Summit that the FBI was still in love with the ADL, describing his earlier remarks as a love letter.
00:46He praised the ADL for its advocacy and said the Bureau was building bridges with the group.
00:52But today, the ADL faces growing scrutiny.
00:55Elon Musk and Republican lawmakers have accused it of mislabeling conservative organizations as extremists, including Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
01:05After mounting criticism, the ADL removed its entire glossary of extremism and hate, which listed over 1,000 entries.
01:13The group said many entries were outdated and often misrepresented, adding that retiring the glossary would help it refocus on fighting anti-Semitism and hate.
01:23Musk was unsparing in his criticism, claiming the FBI used ADL definitions to investigate Turning Point USA and calling the ADL itself a hate group.
01:34Representative Anna Paulina Luna echoed that sentiment, saying the group unfairly labeled conservatives as extremists.
01:41The ADL still lists Turning Point USA under its center of extremism, accusing it of links to far-right activists.
01:49Patel's decision signals a sharp break from Comey's era, making clear the FBI will no longer rely on the ADL in its counterterrorism or extremism work.
