Kash Patel drinking allegations
The Atlantic's exposé cites several colleagues who have grown alarmed by what they describe as Patel's 'intoxication incidents' and chaotic management of the agency.
In response, Patel has hired a high-profile lawyer known for MAGA-aligned lawsuits to lead his legal challenge against the magazine.
White House officials are reportedly discussing the potential fallout, with some suggesting the allegations could lead to Patel's dismissal.
Despite the controversy, Patel continues to project a defiant front, accusing the media of a politically motivated smear campaign.
