Kash Patel's 'MAGA makeover' criticized
Interviews with former students and athletes have painted a complex picture of the man now leading the nation's top law enforcement agency.
While Patel has built a reputation as an aggressive warrior against 'wokeness,' those who knew him before his rise in the Trump administration remember a more relaxed figure.
The reports come as Patel faces allegations of excessive drinking and erratic behavior during recent official trips.
Patel has dismissed the criticism, claiming he and President Trump are 'as tough as they come.'
