US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) during hearings on Capitol Hill: "Quite frankly, I don't give a damn what Kash Patel does in his private life, but there are multiple, well-sourced reports that his heavy drinking is interfering with his ability to do his job as Director of the FBI. When his private life starts impacting the safety of the American people, we should all be worried."

"You are a disgrace, Mr. Director."
