Patel used a blue pen to write the note, which is widely shared online. The words “Director Patel” are printed just beneath the FBI's black-and-white logo.
According to the Daily Mail, the note “read like affirmations.” It further mentioned: “Good fight with Swalwell. Hold the line. Brush off their attacks. Rise above the next line of partisan attacks.”

Kash Patel's Senate hearing
{{/usCountry}}Patel's frequent arguments with Democrats, particularly California Congressman Eric Swalwell, about the management of Jeffrey Epstein's papers exposed them during a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.
Patel was questioned by Swalwell on the Justice Department's hesitation to release any grand jury records pertaining to the deceased financier. He inquired as to if any of the records included references to former US President Donald Trump, who had hung out with Epstein.
“Your fixation on this matter and baseless accusations that I’m hiding child pedophiles is disgusting,” Patel remarked.
Democrat Swalwell grilled Patel repeatedly about whether he informed Attorney General Pam Bondi that the Epstein records contained Trump's name.
As Swalwell reiterated his question, Patel then snapped back, saying, "Why don’t you try to spell it out if you’re going to mock me? Use the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F."
