## Resource

FBI Director Kash Patel has filed at least six defamation lawsuits against media outlets and commentators, and Hawk, a trial attorney, walks through why they keep failing. A federal judge has now dismissed Patel's suit against anti-disinformation blogger Jim Stewartson, ruling the court lacked personal jurisdiction because Stewartson lives in California and was sued in Nevada. Hawk explains what personal jurisdiction means and why a former line prosecutor should have seen the problem coming.
