FBI director denies excessive alcohol consumption problems and attacks against a democrat
Kash Patel, FBI director, lashed out Chris Van Hollen when the Democratic senator asked him to respond about his alleged weakness for liquor
During his appearance before a congressional committee, Kash Patel, director of the Federal Investigative Bureau (FBI) lost his composure and reacted with fury when being questioned about his alleged weakness due to the consumption of intoxicating drinks.
A few weeks ago an article appeared in The Atlanticmagazine, where the excessive alcohol consumption that Kash Patel has incurred to the point of being untraceable after some nights of drinking.
Given this signal, Chris Van Hollen, senator from Maryland, asked the New York lawyer to respond with the truth, which brought him out of his boxes.
“Reports claiming that you were so drunk and so hungover that your staff had to force entry into your home are extremely alarming,” said the Karachi, Pakistan-born lawmaker.
This statement upset Kash Patel so much that without hesitation he reproached Van Hollen for allegedly sitting down drinking cocktails with alcohol in front of an immigrant whom President Donald Trump tried to deport by considering a member of MS-13, a gang that operates in the United States with orders issued from Central America.
“I will not allow you to tarnish me with unfounded accusations. The only one who drinks at the expense of the taxpayers is you. Consuming margaritas in El Salvador with the taxpayers'money together with a convicted rapist belonging to a gang," said the Republican senator in allusion to Kilmar Abrego García.
Another controversial issue revolving around the person in charge of the FBI is related to the alleged improper use of an official plane to carry out personal and even recreational trips.
According to Patel's flight records, in addition to traveling on the agency's jet to attend concerts offered by his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, a renowned country singer, He traveled by the aircraft to Scotland accompanied by a group of friends to play golf and attend a hunting retreat, which he also did to attend a hockey game in the company of actor Mel Gibson.
In December, Jamie Raskin, representative of Maryland and who occupies highest ranking on the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives confronted Kash Patel to demand accountability for each one of the flights carried out since he appeared in front of the FBI.
“You used a $60 million government plane for a date night with your girlfriend, a golf trip to Scotland with your friends, and a trip to a luxury hunting lodge called Boondoggle.” "Why should American taxpayers pay for private jets every time you decide to go out with your golf friends, see your girlfriend, or treat yourself?" the Democrat questioned.
