FBI Director Patel denies boozing claims
The controversy surrounding Patel's leadership has intensified as White House officials reportedly discuss his potential removal from the bureau.
The Atlantic report cited over two dozen sources who raised concerns about Patel's conduct and its impact on national security.
In response, Patel has hired Jesse Binnall, a lawyer known for representing high-profile MAGA figures, to lead his legal challenge.
Despite the internal turmoil, the FBI director remains defiant, issuing a public memo dismissing the allegations as 'fake news' intended to destabilize his tenure.
