PATEL OFFICIALLY INVESTIGATES ALCOHOL CONTENT OF BREWSKIES

BUSTED: New reporting reveals FBI Director Kash Patel previously disclosed arrests for public intoxication (2001) and public urination (2005) in a letter tied to his Florida Bar application.

The 2005 letter, obtained by reporter Trevor Aaronson of The Intercept through a records request, details both incidents and Patel’s acknowledgment that fines were paid. At the time, Patel was working in the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office.

These revelations come as Patel faces growing scrutiny over alleged alcohol abuse while in office, which he has denied.
