Sen. Chris Van Hollen issued a public callout to FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday, filling his end of a bargain the pair had made during a tense Senate hearing a day prior to both release their results on an alcohol abuse test.
“Yesterday, @FBIDirectorKash told me he’d take the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test if I did. Well, here’s mine. Given all the lies he told yesterday, I imagine he’ll fudge the numbers here, but let’s see yours, Director Patel,” Van Hollen wrote in a post on X.
The test, known as AUDIT, asks 10 questions about alcohol consumption, such as how often people drink or if they have experienced various negative consequences from drinking. Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, chose the lowest-level on nine of the questions — only checking a higher box for having a drink containing alcohol “2-3 times a week.”
