Kash Patel faces boozing allegations

The report from The Atlantic cites multiple sources claiming Patel's behavior has become increasingly erratic, raising concerns among British and American intelligence services.

Patel countered these allegations during a Fox News appearance, pointing to recent FBI successes as evidence of his effectiveness.

He has also promised imminent arrests related to a 2020 election conspiracy, a move critics view as a distraction from the personal scandal.

The controversy highlights growing divisions within the Trump administration's national security apparatus.
