FBI Ends Partnership with ADL, Breaking from Comey’s Approach.
The FBI has severed ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), marking a shift from former Director James Comey’s strategy, according to sources cited by The New York Times. The decision stems from concerns over the ADL’s credibility, particularly after allegations of inflating hate crime statistics and its stance on issues like pro-Palestinian activism.
Under Comey, the FBI collaborated closely with the ADL, relying on its data and expertise to combat hate crimes. However, critics, including conservative groups, have accused the ADL of bias, pointing to its labeling of certain right-leaning organizations as extremist while allegedly downplaying left-leaning activism. Recent scrutiny over the ADL’s data accuracy further eroded trust.
The move reflects broader tensions, as some Jewish advocacy groups expressed disappointment, arguing the ADL remains a vital resource against antisemitism. Meanwhile, others see the split as a step toward impartiality in law enforcement partnerships.
