TEHRAN (Defapress) - In recent days, FBI Director Kash Patel has been the subject of a wave of scandal. The reports, which cite multiple current and former government officials, accuse him of chronic alcoholism and incapacitation at critical moments.

According to the reports, Patel has been inaccessible even to his own security team, and they have had difficulty waking him up on several occasions. According to one report, when he was locked behind closed doors and unresponsive, guards called for emergency entry equipment, the kind used in special forces operations and hostage rescues.

The reports also point to growing concerns among U.S. officials that Patel’s behavior could have dangerous consequences in a crisis, such as a domestic terrorist attack. Some sources say that the FBI staff are waiting to announce his dismissal.

His controversial record has also fueled these concerns. Among the criticisms leveled against him are his premature announcement of the identity of suspects in sensitive cases such as the murder of Charlie Kirk on social media, his use of a government plane to watch his mistress perform the national anthem at the start of a wrestling match, and his use of an FBI jet to travel to Milan to watch a U.S. men’s hockey game and then drinking beer with the players in the locker room.

According to the reports, Patel spends his weekends in cities such as Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, and during this time, heavy drinking has caused official meetings and meetings to be postponed.

However, Patel has denied all of these allegations, calling them “completely false.” He has also threatened to sue The Atlantic for publishing the reports.

Despite these accusations, the White House has defended his performance, emphasizing that Patel’s role is key in maintaining “law and order” across the country. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has also claimed that since Donald Trump took office, crime rates have fallen to their lowest level in more than 100 years.

Despite these defenses, the series of reports and side stories has raised serious questions about the professional competence and managerial ability of one of America’s most important security officials; questions that seem likely to come into greater focus in the coming days.
