The 19-page lawsuit that FBI director Kash Patel filed against the Atlantic and its journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick, over their article on Patel's drinking problem, which it said is a cause of concern for the administration, claimed that Kash Patel does not drink to excess. "Director Patel does not drink to excess at these establishments or anywhere else, and this has not, and has never been, a source of concern across the government," one sentence of the lawsuit said, countering the article's claim that Patel drinks to the point of obvious intoxication at Ned's in Washington DC, Poodle Room in Las Vegas etc.
That Patel is so drunk that he is unreachable and all his meetings are drinking charades and he was intoxicated when Charlie Kirk was killed are all false, the lawsuit claimed. But it did not deny one particular incident in the Atlantic report that claimed Patel 'freaked out' on April 10 and thought he was fired as he could not log in to his system.
