"Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences. He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence."
"The FBI had opened an 'insider threat investigation' regarding who leaked information about Patel to The Atlantic. Such an inquiry is highly unorthodox, as insider threat investigations typically stem from leaks involving classified information."
The FBI has initiated a criminal investigation into the sources that provided information about Director Kash Patel's drinking habits to The Atlantic. The report detailed instances of excessive drinking, resulting in rescheduled meetings and difficulties waking him. Colleagues expressed concern over Patel's behavior, describing him as erratic and paranoid. The investigation is unusual, as it typically involves classified information leaks, not public figure reports. The scope may include examining phone records and social media of those involved in the leak.
