Deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein killed himself behind bars, FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers Thursday.
Patel gave his comment on Epstein during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee regarding the FBI’s 2026 budget request.
Asked directly, “Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?” by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), the FBI director said he believed the official story behind his death was correct.
“Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan detention center,” Patel responded.
“Are you going to release all the information about that?” Kennedy questioned.
Patel answered, “Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice.”
“When do you think you’ll have it done, Kash?” the Louisiana senator asked.
“I think in the near future, sir,” replied Patel.
“Like, before I die?” Kennedy inquired.
“Senator, we’ve been working on that and we’re doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn’t put out into the ether information that is irrelevant for production of the public, such as CSAM [child sex abuse material],” Patel answered.
Following Epstein’s reported suicide, Sen. Kennedy was at the forefront of raising concerns about the peculiar circumstances surrounding the prominent pedophile’s in-jail death.
The FBI director’s response to the Epstein file saga comes as US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday told reporters the Bureau was still combing through troves of data, some of which depicts the deceased pedophile with children.
“The FBI they’re reviewing… there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children, or child porn,” Bondi said.
“And there are hundreds of victims. And no one victim will ever get released, it’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that. I haven’t seen that statement but I’ll call [Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.)] later and find out,” she added.
With the FBI director siding with the official Epstein suicide narrative, can the public expect justice to be done or the truth to be revealed? Or is Patel withholding key details about the death the public is not yet privy to?
