Kash Patel gave John Kennedy some bad news about Jeffrey Epstein
The Justice Department still hasn’t released the Epstein files.
Key Senators are starting to grow antsy.
And Kash Patel gave John Kennedy some bad news about Jeffrey Epstein.
Kash Patel testifies he believes Jeffrey Epstein killed himself
The official story of Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a Manhattan Jail in 2019 still doesn’t pass the smell test with tens of millions of Americans.
Americans don’t buy that Epstein killed himself.
The lapses in security and failures of the cameras to record Epstein’s cell look suspiciously like the cover to allow someone to kill Epstein and ensure the pedophile never stood trial and instead took his secrets to the grave.
President Trump campaigned on radical transparency in government.
Trump released the remaining files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr.
The Epstein files were supposed to be included.
But Attorney General Pam Bondi hasn’t followed through and instead released decades-old documents that were already made public.
The frustration about the lack of transparency on the Epstein files reached the Senate, where John Kennedy (R-LA) grilled FBI Director Kash Patel about both the Epstein files and Epstein’s death.
“Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?” Kennedy wondered.
Patel then delivered an answer that was sure to surprise the vast majority of Trump supporters by saying he believed Epstein killed himself.
“Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center,” Patel replied.
Still won’t commit
Senator Kennedy then moved on to the Epstein files and tried to pin Patel down on when the Justice Department would finally release these documents to the public.
“Are you going to release all the information about that?” Kennedy asked.
But Patel didn’t commit to a specific release date.
“Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice,” Patel responded.
That answer didn’t please Senator Kennedy.
“When you think you’ll have it done, Kash?” Kennedy followed up.
Patel once again gave a vague reply.
“I think… in the near future?” Patel stated.
“Like before I die?” a frustrated Senator Kennedy asked.
Patel said the Justice Department was digging through documents and video footage to protect the identity of the minor children that were victims of Epstein’s sex crimes.
“Senator… we are, we’ve been working on that and we are doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn’t put out into the ether information that is irrelevant for production for the public, such as CSAM [child sexual abuse material],” Patel concluded.
Patience is clearly running thin with Attorney General Bondi and her failure to simply release the Epstein files.
Even Senators are annoyed and are demanding real answers from the Justice Department.
What Senator Kennedy heard from FBI Director Kash Patel isn’t likely to pacify him.
