Kash Patel denies drinking allegations

Standing alongside Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Kash Patel addressed allegations of professional negligence and intoxication that have rocked the FBI. The director dismissed the claims as 'fake news' and challenged reporters to meet him in court following his massive defamation filing.

House Democrats have launched an investigation into the matter, requesting that Patel undergo an alcohol disorder test under penalty of perjury.

Despite the controversy, Patel continues to lead the agency while simultaneously battling multiple other legal challenges related to his conduct.
