FBI director Kash Patel issued a statement on his social media addressing a viral video that showed him partying with the United States men’s hockey team shortly after their gold medal win in the Milan Cortina Olympics.
On Sunday, Team USA beat Canada in a 2-1 overtime thriller to clinch their first gold medal in men’s Olympic ice hockey since 1980. After the game, a roughly 45-second video circulated on social media that showed Patel drinking beer and celebrating alongside Team USA players in the locker room in Milan. Patel, who looked extremely animated and pumped up about the win, was seen jumping up and down while joining the players in a rendition of Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.”
