FBI Director Kash Patel has earned widespread support across the America First movement for restoring integrity and leadership at an agency that had become an embarrassment under the likes of James Comey and Christopher Wray. But on the issue that matters to millions of truth-seeking Americans—Jeffrey Epstein and the release of his files—Patel’s latest answers left a lot to be desired.
At a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) grilled Patel on two key questions: what really happened to Epstein, and when will the public finally see the full trove of Epstein evidence? As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) recently dropped a bombshell, suggesting the Epstein files may have already been destroyed—or were never in the hands of the Department of Justice to begin with.
Patel’s answers didn’t exactly instill confidence. Asked point-blank whether Epstein was murdered or committed suicide, Patel sided with the official narrative, stating: “Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center.”
That claim alone raised eyebrows given the bizarre circumstances of Epstein’s death: camera footage allegedly “malfunctioning,” guards falling asleep, and a high-profile inmate supposedly killing himself while under suicide watch.
Kennedy then pivoted to the real question: when will Americans finally see the Epstein files?
Patel responded, “Senator, we are working through that with the Department of Justice.”
“When do you think you’ll have it done?” Kennedy pressed.
Patel offered the kind of answer that makes swamp-watchers roll their eyes: “I think in the near future, sir.”
Kennedy, clearly skeptical, shot back with classic Louisiana sarcasm: “Like, before I die?”
Again, Patel sidestepped: “We’re doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn’t put out… information that is irrelevant to the public.”
FBI Director Kash Patel claims Jeffrey Epstein did, in fact, hang himself in prison—while also revealing he’s working on a plan to release the full Epstein file.

Translation? No timetable. No transparency. No answers.
This follows Attorney General Pam Bondi’s equally vague response earlier this week, where she confirmed the FBI is “reviewing tens of thousands of videos” involving Epstein and minors but also insisted “no one victim will ever get released.” She cited privacy concerns and volume as the reason for the delay.
At this point, MAGA patriots are justified in asking: if these files are really being reviewed, why not release the names of the elites involved in Epstein’s blackmail network? And why keep hiding behind concern for victims if none of those victims are actually demanding secrecy?
The American people don’t want more “process.” They want the truth. And time is running out for Kash Patel and the DOJ to deliver it.
