From CNN.

FBI Director Kash Patel sparred with a lawmaker briefly during a Tuesday afternoon hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee when asked about media reports alleging he drinks to excess.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, was especially pointed in his opening statement and questioning — raising concerns about Patel’s leadership and noting reports of his personal behavior, the recent firing of counterintelligence agents tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, and subpoenas recently sent to reporters.
