House Democrats Demand Kash Patel Take Alcohol Test Amid Investigation Over Drinking Allegations
House Democrats are launching an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel after a report by The Atlantic alleged he drank excessively and behaved erratically, prompting lawmakers to demand he take an alcohol test under penalty of perjury.
House Democrats are investigating FBI Director Kash Patel after an Atlantic report claimed he showed 'alarmed colleagues' signs of excessive drinking and erratic behavior, prompting a demand for him to take an alcohol test under penalty of perjury. The probe follows a bombshell story from The Atlantic that alleged Patel's partying habits raised concerns among his colleagues. Democrats are pushing for Patel to undergo a substance abuse screening as part of the investigation. The FBI has thus far declined to comment on the matter.
