FBI Director Kash Patel was seen partying alongside Ali Abdelaziz, a prominent mixed martial arts manager and former FBI informant who was dropped by the agency in 2008 after he was suspected of being a double agent.
Early Sunday morning, U.S. Attorney for Nevada Sigal Chattah — appointed by President Donald Trump last year unlawfully — shared a photo of herself on social media attending an “extravagant, star-studded wedding” in New York standing alongside four others: the bride, MAGA star Alina Habba, her husband Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon, Patel and Abdelaziz.
The photo immediately caught the attention of multiple journalists.
“Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to [Russian politician Ramzan] Kadyrov,” wrote investigative journalist Michael D. Weiss.
“Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.”
Others, like Virginia-based reporter Frankie Stockes, took greater interest in Patel partying with Chattah, who last year was ruled to have been serving as Nevada’s U.S. attorney unlawfully, a ruling that was backed up last month by an appeals court.
“FBI Director Kash Patel spent the weekend partying with Sigal Chattah, the Israeli-born federal prosecutor who let Netanyahu pedophile Tom Alexandrovich AND the infamous Israeli biolab operator of Las Vegas abscond to Israel rather than face US charges.”
Chattah faced scrutiny earlier this year after her office dropped a weapons charge against Israeli national Ori Solomon, who was also charged by state authorities with improperly disposing of hazardous waste after being connected to the operation of an illegal biolab.
Chattah has also faced scrutiny for her inflammatory comments against Palestinians, having called them “animals” and urged them to be “wiped off the map,” describing “even the children” as terrorists.
