The recent firings of key Cabinet figures have created a sense of paranoia for FBI Director Kash Patel. Following Attorney General Pam Bondi's ouster earlier this month, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's removal in March, a new report suggests the fear of being next has fueled that paranoia and contributed to erratic behavior.
With current and former officials telling the media it is only a matter of time before his tenure at the helm of the agency comes to an end, another reason behind his potential ouster is related to an April 17 article published by The Atlantic, in which the outlet reported Patel's drinking has become a recurring source of concern among government officials, at times leading to erratic conduct and unexplained absences.
