Kash Patel has broken his silence on a video of him drinking beer and said he has never been drunk at work.
In a major controversy, the FBI director Kashi PatelAccording to “The Atlantic Monthly”, Patel’s work was affected by his alleged drunkenness. The Indian-American FBI director talked about this at a press conference and said that although he was not a teetotaler, he had never been drunk on the job.The press conference wasn’t about Kash Patel’s drinking habits, but the FBI director had to face questions about the controversy. “I can say unequivocally that I never listen to the fake news mafia, and when they get louder, it just means I’m doing my job,” Patel said. “I’ve never been drunk on the job, which is why we’re filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit. If any of you want to get involved, come on.”Patel said in a trembling voice that he was the first person in the office and the last one out and put in more hours to work. “I’m just like a regular American who loves his country, loves the game of hockey, and when my friends hold up gold medals and invite me to celebrate, I win for them,” said Patel, referring to video of him swigging beers in the locker room with members of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team after winning the gold medal in Milan, Italy, over Canada in February. However, he did not mention the video.At a press conference, he was asked by an NBC New reporter about the incident reported by The Atlantic and was visibly terrified that he was being locked out of the system. The Atlantic reported that Patel was so paranoid that he believed he was fired. “The problem with you and your baseless reporting is that it’s an absolute lie. It was never said. It never happened. I will serve in this administration as long as the president and the attorney general want me to,” Patel said. “I’ve never been locked out of my system.”The Atlantic’s reporting sparked a major controversy, with the magazine saying it would fight Patel’s $250 million lawsuit in court.
