What’s going on with FBI Director Kash Patel?

FBI Director Kash Patel shared that there is no “credible evidence” that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to other individuals.

Patels’ comment came ater Republican Senator John Kennedy asked Patel if Epstein trafficked any young women.

Newsweek covered Patel’s comments on Epstein more in-depth:

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.

The remarks came during a heated hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which Republican Louisiana Senator John Kennedy asked Patel about his knowledge of the Epstein files.

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, alongside other senators, questioned Patel over the Epstein files on Tuesday morning.

“You’ve seen most of the files. Who if anyone did Epstein traffic these young women to, besides himself?” Kennedy asked Patel.

Patel responded, “Himself. There is no credible information, none. If there were I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals. And the information we have, again, is limited.”

Kennedy followed up, “So the answer is no one?”

The FBI director responded, “For the information that we have. In the case files.”

Kennedy said such an explanation was unlikely to satisfy calls for greater transparency.

“This issue is not going to go away,” Kennedy said. “The central question for the American people is this: They know Epstein trafficked young women for sex with himself. What they want to know is whether he trafficked them to anyone else.”
