8:21Now PlayingParty Boy Kash Patel Poses a Massive National Security Threat
Kash Patel, the current FBI Director, is at the center of a major national security conversation after a bombshell report from The Atlantic by journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick. The report details alarming allegations of excessive drinking, unexplained absences, and erratic behavior from the nation's top law enforcement official.
Among the most striking claims: FBI officials reportedly had to obtain breaching equipment to access a locked office where Patel was unresponsive. On another occasion, Patel allegedly called nine or ten colleagues in a panic believing he had been fired, when the issue turned out to be a simple login glitch, all reportedly while hungover.
Senior administration officials are now said to be openly discussing who will replace Patel as FBI Director. Patel himself has reportedly told people close to him that he believes his firing is imminent.
Reactions from public figures are pouring in. Representative Ted Lieu called for Patel's immediate removal if the allegations are true. Representative Yasmine Ansari called Trump's cabinet a national security vulnerability.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison labeled the administration corrupt and incompetent. Authoritarian scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat warned the situation plays directly into the hands of autocracies. David Hogg noted bluntly that binge drinking and running the FBI are incompatible.
Adding another layer: Donald Trump has publicly condemned excessive drinking for decades, shaped in part by the death of his brother Fred Trump Jr. from alcoholism.
