YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

FBI Director Kash Patel has been facing backlash following a report in The Atlantic alleging Patel has engaged in excessive alcohol use and other behaviors that have alarmed colleagues at the bureau. Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against the magazine on Monday, days after it published a profile detailing an alleged pattern of drinking, unexplained absences and paranoia about losing his job. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) called out the White House cabinet shakeups, predicting Kash Patel will be ousted soon.
