Mohamed Elibiary

Poole said he received confirmation from a left-leaning media outlet that Elibiary had recently approached them, asking to do a story attacking the Texas DPS.

A source with the media outlet told Poole that Elibiary approached them with reports marked "For Official Use Only" that the Texas Muslim leader claimed "showed a pattern of Islamophobia at the department."

The media source said the reports were not as Elibiary "had billed them to us," and they saw "nothing remotely resembling Islamophobia."

"I think he was hoping we would bite and not give it too much of a look in light of the other media outfits jumping on the Islamophobia bandwagon," the source told Poole.

The source said it was clear that Elibiary, in an attempt to promote himself, wanted to be quoted as a source in the story.

The source noted his outlet has used Elibiary as an unnamed source in previous stories.
