FBI Director Kash Patel unleashed a torrent of insults at Senator Adam Schiff during a heated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, turning a discussion about the Epstein files into a deeply personal confrontation. The exchange escalated quickly as Schiff pressed Patel on the handling of Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a lower-security prison after she spoke with the Justice Department.
According to The Hill, Schiff questioned whether Patel had insight into the move, expressing disbelief that the Bureau of Prisons would make such a decision independently and unrelated to Maxwell’s interview. “Do you think they’re stupid?” Schiff asked, questioning the narrative presented to the American people. Patel immediately lost his nerve.
