US EditionKash Patel Is Likely Next to Be Ousted
Reports say Patel faces removal as scrutiny grows over alleged drinking, misuse of FBI resources and a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic.
- A senior White House official told Politico's Dasha Burns on Saturday that FBI Director Kash Patel is "likely the next Cabinet-level official to go," saying it is "only a matter of time" before action is taken.
- Allegations of excessive drinking and erratic behavior published by The Atlantic have intensified scrutiny surrounding Patel, who strongly denies the claims and filed a $250 million lawsuit against the publication last week.
- The Intercept reported this week that Patel previously admitted to two alcohol-related arrests, including public intoxication as an underage college student and public urination while studying law, compounding challenges 14 months into his tenure.
- On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Patel, telling reporters that Trump "does still have confidence in the FBI director and in our law and order team," citing declining crime rates during his tenure.
- Patel's uncertain status follows the recent dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month, as Senate Majority Leader John Thune warned that confirming new appointees during this compressed schedule remains a significant hurdle.
