FBI Director Kash Patel strongly denies allegations of excessive drinking on the job. The accusations came up during an FBI budget hearing on Tuesday. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen confronted Patel about a recent article in The Atlantic magazine critical of his leadership. Patel, who has sued over the story, called the claims “unequivocally, categorically false.” He also accused Van Hollen of “slinging margaritas with gang-bangers” during a visit to El Salvador last year and running up a 7,000 bar tab in Washington, D.C. #KashPatel #VanHollen #FBI #TheAtlantic
