Kash Patel has broken his silence on a bombshell story about his chaotic leadership of the FBI with a public “memo to the fake news” insisting it doesn’t bother him.
The FBI director, 46, put up a defiant front after multiple sources were quoted by https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/04/kash-patel-fbi-director-drinking-absences/686839/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/04/kash-patel-fbi-director-drinking-absences/686839/">The Atlantic alleging that his erratic behavior within the agency has alienated officials.
“Memo to the fake news - the only time I’ll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when you stop,” he wrote in an X post on Saturday.
