India, April 23 -- Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have sent a formal letter to FBI Director Kash Patel asking him to complete a standard screening questionnaire used to identify what they describe as harmful patterns of alcohol use. The letter is led by ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md) and signed by more than a dozen Democrats and it was sent on Tuesday.

The questions included in the form are detailed.
