Kash Patel faces drinking allegations
FBI Director Kash Patel is embroiled in a public controversy following claims that his drinking habits have interfered with his leadership of the bureau.
The Atlantic published accounts from officials alleging that Patel has been difficult to contact and has rescheduled sensitive briefings due to intoxication.
In response, Patel has denied all allegations, asserting he has never been drunk on the job and initiating a massive libel suit.
However, congressional Democrats are pressing for transparency, with Representative Jamie Raskin suggesting the Director is 'on the run' from legitimate oversight.
