Sen. Van Hollen Spars with Kash Patel over Report of Excessive Drinking: ‘You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About’

EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: “So, there have been no occasions during your tenure when FBI personnel were unable to promptly reach you?”

PATEL: “Absolutely not. You can ask my entire workforce, they hear from me at every single hour of the day, as do these great gentlemen here, as do the men and women of the interagency and state and local law enforcement and the White House.”

VAN HOLLEN: “And so, there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you, is that right?”

PATEL: “No, it’s a total farce. I don’t even know where you get this stuff, but it doesn’t make it credible because you say so.”
