The Witness. Sorry. I should know that.

Instead, I first learned that I had been issued a subpoena without prior reach from

the committee when members of the media contacted me on the evening of

September 23rd on my personal cell phone. I had still yet to be served with a subpoena

or any notice of it.

I was subsequently the victim of vile, racist, and physically threatening messages.

To quote some, "Pack your fucking carpet bag and start swimming, you fucking

treasonous bitch. America is going to chew you up and they'll slice that fucking sand

8

1

monkey neck of yours in prison on day one. They always need a couple token niggers to

2

use.

We may even be able to execute you bastards, cut your fucking head off the way

3

they do in your country. You are a traitor and will pay," end quote.

4

These threats have been reported to the FBI and marked as exhibit – our exhibit 1

5

for entry into the record.

6

Mr. Sofer. So we have that exhibit here, and it's marked as K. Patel Exhibit No. 1.

7 We'd like to submit it for the record.

8

2 Great. Thank you.

9

Mr. Sofer. l ask that it be made part of the record.

10

L You can just pass it to the reporter. Thanks.

11

The Witness.

I was therefore extremely upset when, after these threats of

12

violence were made known to the committee, Representative Schiff personally attacked

13

me in an October 14th New York Times podcast as a, quote, "evil Zelig," end quote, and

14

part of a group of, quote, "unscrupulous," end quote, advisers.

15

These inflammatory remarks caused me to question whether I could lor would

16

receive a fair hearing before this committee. Nevertheless, my attorneys

17

communicated my continued willingness to appear and answer your questions.
