Patrick Howley

Patrick Howley (born 1989) is an American journalist. He is a reporter for Breitbart News Network in Washington, D.C.[1] He was previously a reporter for The Washington Free Beacon and The Daily Caller.[2] Howley previously served as an assistant editor for The American Spectator.[3] His work has been featured by the Wall Street Journal,[4] National Review,[5] and Sean Hannity.[6]

In October 2013, Howley reported that the White House and former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner exchanged confidential taxpayer information. Lerner retired but faced no charges.[7] His 2014 report on the Department of Veterans Affairs' destruction of patient medical records prompted congressional calls for federal investigations.[8] Howley was the first journalist to flag remarks by Affordable Care Act consultant Jonathan Gruber on "the stupidity of the American voter."[9]

In March 2016, Howley was involved in the Breitbart controversy over Corey Lewandowski's alleged grabbing and shoving of Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields. In a series of Twitter posts, Howley attacked Fields' account of events and was subsequently suspended.[10] Howley was reinstated to Breitbart News after four days of suspension, following Fields' resignation from the outlet.[11]

In June 2016, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted a report by Howley claiming that Hillary Clinton received a "secret memo" stating Obama administration support for Al Qaeda in Iraq, which eventually became ISIS.[12]

Howley has been consistently criticized for his style of journalism and satire.[13][14][15][16]
