Kash Patel has found himself at the centre of another controversy after reports revealed he was arrested twice on alcohol-related offences during his student years. The disclosures emerged at a particularly sensitive moment, as Patel had recently been accused of drinking on the job.
Patel denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against the publication that made them. In his statement, he said that he does not listen to 'fake news media' and stressed that he has never been intoxicated on the job.
