House Democrats have launched an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel after a scathing report about the top law enforcement official’s alleged excessive drinking.
Rep. Jamie Raskin called on the embattled bureau chief to submit to an alcohol assessment to determine if he has alcohol issues.
The probe comes just days after https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/04/kash-patel-fbi-director-drinking-absences/686839/" rel="">The Atlantic published a report that Patel, 46, was prone to heavy drinking.
In the report, more than two dozen sources expressed concern over Patel’s “conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences.” It detailed how the FBI had to reschedule early meetings “as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights.”
