At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Hirono pressed Patel for the number of people who have left the FBI since January 20, 2025. Patel said a "plus-up" had been allocated for field offices across the country and accused her of looking for "a media hit and a fundraising clip." He gave no departure number and said he would get her the numbers later.

because we're pushing them out to the field. Okay, so you're telling me that no field office division or directorate has lost any personnel since January 20th, 2025? That's your answer? In Hawaii, there's been a plus -up. In every single state that I'm looking at, we have allocated a plus -up for field officers across the country so that the FBI can continue and the historic achievements it's done in these last seven months. When you're talking about firings, you're looking for a media hit and a fundraising clip and I'm not going to give it to you. It doesn't matter. I'm under what basis they left. I just want to know how many have left and I think your testimony is nobody has left. Next question. Nope, that's not my testimony. You asked it one time. I answered it one time. You didn't get the answer you wanted for your clip. Next question. I keep asking it and I told you I get you the numbers but you can keep asking it.
