\n

\n FBI Director Kash Patel sparred with a lawmaker briefly during a Tuesday afternoon hearing at the Senate Appropriations Committee when asked about media reports alleging he drinks to excess.\n <\/p>\n

\n In his opening statement, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, raised concerns about Patel\u2019s leadership, noting reports of his personal behavior, the recent firing of counterintelligence agents<\/a> tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, and subpoenas recently sent to reporters.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cDirector Patel, I don\u2019t care one bit about your private life,\u201d Van Hollen said. \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn what you do on your own time and your own dime, unless and until it interferes with your public responsibilities.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Atlantic recently published a story alleging Patel has \u201calarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cYou cannot perform those public duties if you\u2019re incapacitated,\u201d Van Hollen said to Patel Tuesday, noting \u201creports of you being so drunk and so hungover that your staff had to force entry into your home.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Patel has since sued the Atlantic<\/a>, calling the reporting false and saying he has never been drunk at work.\n <\/p>\n

\n Patel shot back at Van Hollen later during the hearing, accusing the senator of \u201cslinging margaritas\u201d with a known felon, referring to a meeting Van Hollen had with Kilmar Abrego Garcia when he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. Van Hollen has denied that anyone drank margaritas.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cDirector Patel, come on. These are serious allegations that were made against you,\u201d Van Hollen said.\n <\/p>\n

\n After a brief match where the two continued to speak over each other, the senator asked if Patel would take a test \u2014 instituted in the military \u2014 to measure whether someone has a drinking problem.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019ll take any test you\u2019re willing to,\u201d Patel said.\n <\/p>\n

\n The director added: \u201cLet\u2019s go. Side by side.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
