FBI Director Faces Alcohol Misconduct Probe

The House Judiciary Committee is seeking clarity on allegations that FBI Director Kash Patel has been frequently intoxicated while performing his official duties.

These claims, first detailed in a major investigative report, suggest that Patel's behavior has delayed sensitive counterintelligence operations.

Patel has categorically denied the accusations, describing himself as an 'everyday American' and maintaining he has never been intoxicated at work.

The political firestorm has led to calls for his immediate resignation from senior Democratic leadership, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
