Summary

Kash Patel held his first press conference since The Atlantic published a heavily sourced report alleging the FBI Director's drinking has become a national security concern. Alongside acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Patel faced reporters who asked pointed questions about the allegations, including whether he has ever been intoxicated on the job and whether he was drunk at the press conference itself.
