Story highlights

During the hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Patel repeatedly clashed with the Democrats, especially with California Rep. Eric Swalwell, over the handling of the Epstein files.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who is currently under fire over his handling of the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, is now being mocked on social media after an image of a pep-talk note to himself went viral on the internet. The notes were made during the Congressional hearing on political violence and Jeffrey Epstein’s case files.

“Good fight with Swalwell. Hold the line. Brush off their attacks. Rise above next line of partisan attacks,” read the note, which seemed like affirmations. It was written by Patel with a blue pen on personalised stationery labelled ‘Director Patel’ below a black and white logo of the FBI.
