Patrick Howley (born 1989) is an American conservative 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 The Daily Caller.[2][3]
Howley previously served as an assistant editor for The American Spectator.[4] His work has been featured by the Wall Street Journal,[5] National Review,[6] and Sean Hannity.[7]
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.[8] His 2014 report on the Department of Veterans Affairs' destruction of patient medical records prompted congressional calls for federal investigations.[9]
Howley was the first journalist to flag remarks by Affordable Care Act consultant Jonathan Gruber on "the stupidity of the American voter."[10]
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.[11]
