In September, FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers that internal bureau records contained "no credible information" that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than Epstein himself.
However, after the Justice Department released new Epstein materials on Tuesday that include internal email chains referring to "10 co-conspirators," Patel's testimony has come under scrutiny. The FBI director's remarks came during a Sept. 16 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, when he said the FBI had not developed credible evidence that Epstein trafficked victims to other individuals and suggested that if such evidence existed, he would have pursued it.
