00:00The only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gang-banging rapist
00:05was you.
00:06As I said in my opening remarks, I really don't care about your personal life so long as you are
00:12able to perform your public and official responsibilities, which are awesome responsibilities.
00:20Multiple reports, including reporting by The Atlantic, have alleged episodes of excessive drinking, unexplained absences, and behavior that concern current
00:30and former FBI and DOJ officials.
00:33You have publicly denied those allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit.
00:38So today, as you testify before Congress, is it your testimony that those allegations are categorically false?
00:45Unequivocally categorically false.
00:47So there have been no occasions during your tenure when FBI personnel were unable to promptly reach you?
00:53Absolutely not. You can ask my entire workforce. They hear from me at every single hour of the day, as
00:57do these great gentlemen here, as do the men and women of the interagency and state and local law enforcement
01:02in the White House.
01:03And so there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you. Is that right?
01:08Nope. It's a total farce. I don't even know where you get this stuff, but it doesn't make it credible
01:12because you say so.
01:13I'm not saying it, Director Patel. It's been written and documented.
01:18You are literally saying it.
01:19No, I'm saying that these are reports, Director Patel.
01:22Unlike your basis reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a
01:29convicted gangbanging rapist was you.
01:31You know, the only person that ran up a $7,000 bar tab in Washington, D.C. at the lobby.
01:36This suggests to me, this suggests to me that allegations are true.
01:42Are you polygraphing you?
01:45Director Patel, come on.
01:46These are serious allegations that were made against you.
01:50The allegations are false.
01:52You.
01:52You.
01:52You.
