FBI director Kashyap 'Kash' Patel is reportedly paranoid about losing his job due to concerns over his excessive drinking and erratic behavior.
A report in The Atlantic claims that Patel's conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences have raised eyebrows among his colleagues.
According to sources, Patel's drinking has been a constant cause of concern across the government, with some officials describing him as 'erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence.'
The report also highlights a recent incident where Patel believed he had been ousted from his job due to a technical error, only to be found that it was a false alarm.
Patel's tenure has been dubbed as 'management failure' and his personal behavior as a 'national-security vulnerability.'
However, the White House has credited Patel with controlling the crime rate in the US, with crime plummeting to the lowest level in over 100 years under his leadership.
