Patel attended a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, where he was questioned by a number of Senators. In the middle of the session, California's Adam Schiff asked Patel why an associate of Jeffrey Epstein was moved to a lower security prison. As the debate turned into a heated back-and-forth, Patel labelled Schiff the 'biggest fraud to sit on the United States Senate'.

This was shared on X (previously Twitter) by the account MAGA VOICE. Phil Mickelson replied to this X post with an emoji in the comments. The LIV Golf icon wrote:
