00:00Explosive new allegations claim FBI Director Kash Patel is drinking excessively, missing meetings, and even hard to wake up in
00:09the mornings, raising serious questions about national security.
00:14Anonymous sources are talking. The Atlantic just dropped a bombshell report.
00:20But Patel is fighting back hard, calling it all fake news.
00:24Is this a real scandal or a political hit job?
00:29So here's what happened.
00:31The Atlantic published a report based on over two dozen anonymous sources.
00:37Current and former FBI officials, law enforcement, even members of Congress.
00:43They claim Patel's heavy drinking has alarmed people inside the FBI and Justice Department.
00:49They say morning meetings got rescheduled because of late-night drinking.
00:53Security staff reportedly struggled to wake him multiple times.
00:57One wild detail?
00:59Someone allegedly asked for breaching equipment because the director was unreachable.
01:05Democrats are piling on.
01:07Chuck Schumer called him an out-of-control imbecile and told him to resign.
01:12Gavin Newsom's team even posted a mocking AI video.
01:16But Kash Patel is not backing down.
01:19He fired back on X, calling the story a hit piece and fake news.
01:24He wrote,
01:25The only time I'll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when
01:31you stop.
01:32Keep talking.
01:33It means I'm doing exactly what I should be doing.
01:36His team says the intoxication incidents happened zero times.
01:41Patel has taken just 17 days off since taking office.
01:44Less than half of his predecessors.
01:47The FBI went even stronger, threatening to sue the Atlantic.
01:51Print it all false.
01:53I'll see you in court.
01:54Bring your checkbook.
01:56This is happening at a time when some insiders say Patel is worried about his job security.
02:00So, is this anonymous sourcing exposing a serious problem at the top of the FBI?
02:06Or is it another coordinated attack on a Trump ally trying to clean up the bureau?
02:12What do you think?
02:13Is Kash Patel being targeted?
02:16Or is there fire behind the smoke?
