Washington, May 12, 2026, 17:21 EDT FBI Director Kash Patel pushed back hard Tuesday against accusations of heavy drinking and missed work, firing off a blunt denial during a heated exchange with Sen. Chris Van Hollen at a Senate budget hearing. “Unequivocally, categorically false,” Patel shot back, after Van Hollen cited recent stories questioning his handling of the bureau. (AP News) The timing is key here. Patel wasn’t only there to answer questions—he needed senators to support the FBI’s fiscal 2027 budget request: $12.53 billion, with roughly 3,200 extra positions and close to 1,300 more special agents in the mix.
