"I think the central question for the American people is this, they know that Epstein trafficked young women for sex to himself. They wanna know who, if anyone else, he trafficked these young women to. And that's a very fair question. I wanna know that answer, Kennedy said, adding, And I think you're gonna have to do more to satisfy the American people's understandable curiosity in that regard."
"I agree, Senator. What we have done, and just to remind folks, the Epstein case files existed in the two prior administrations, in the Obama administration and the Biden administration, and they didn't release anything. And there was President Trump in the first administration that renewed charges against Mr. Epstein, Patel said. He then credited Trump's Justice Department with reviving the prosecution, while blaming the 2008 non-prosecution agreement for crippling later investigations. Patel insisted the FBI has been as forthcoming as legally possible. We have released all credible information, he told Kennedy, emphasizing that the bureau will not disclose unverified allegations or the identities of victims. I know that's not gonna satisfy many, many people. But if they wanted it done right, then the investigation from its origination should have been done right."
A Senate Judiciary Committee exchange focused on lingering public questions about who else Jeffrey Epstein may have trafficked young women to. Senator John Kennedy demanded more answers to satisfy public curiosity about potential additional participants. FBI Director Kash Patel pushed back, noting Epstein case files existed under previous administrations and crediting the Trump Justice Department with renewing charges. Patel blamed the 2008 non-prosecution agreement for hampering investigations and maintained the FBI has released all credible information while refusing to disclose unverified allegations or victim identities, acknowledging many people will remain unsatisfied.
