FBI Director Kash Patel told U.S. senators on Tuesday morning that there is “no credible information” in case files that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than himself. If you’ve been following the Epstein case at all, this news is probably going to surprise you. This all came up during a really heated hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Republican Louisiana Senator John Kennedy asked Patel about the Epstein files he’s seen.
The committee’s questioning of Patel comes amid increased scrutiny of his leadership of the FBI and his handling of the investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week. Kennedy and other senators were really pushing for more transparency from the FBI, especially after the Department of Justice decided not to publish the highly anticipated documents on the case.
