FBI Director Kash Patel clashed with Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen on Tuesday when asked about media reports that allege he drinks in excess.

During the exchange, Patel fired back, accusing the lawmaker of being the “only person that ran up a $7,000 bar tab in Washington, D.C. at the Lobby Bar.”
