Kash Patel vows to ‘do everything’ to help GOP senator expose Epstein files

Kash Patel vows to ‘do everything’ to help GOP senator expose Epstein files

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI, pledged Thursday to work with a top Republican senator on exposing who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in trafficking and exploiting children.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., quizzed Patel about how he would handle the Epstein case. The sex-trafficking financier died in 2019 while awaiting trial. Nearly 200 names that had previously been redacted from court documents in a lawsuit against his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell were made public last year.

However, Blackburn said there is still more to be known, including the names of those who flew on his plane and accomplices.

‘I want to talk to you about the Epstein case. I have worked on this for years trying to get those records of who flew on Epstein’s plane and who helped him build this international human trafficking sex trafficking ring,’ she said.

She used her remarks to take a jab at former Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin.

‘Now, earlier, I urged then Chairman Durbin to subpoena those records, and I ended up being blocked by Senator Durbin and Christopher Wray. They stonewalled on this,’ she said. ‘And I know that breaking up these trafficking rings is important to President Trump. So will you work with me on this issue? So we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings?’ she asked.

‘Absolutely, Senator,’ Patel responded. ‘Child sex trafficking has no place in the United States of America. And I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI director, to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past and how we are going to counterman missing children and exploited children going forward,’ he said.

Following the exchange between Blackburn and Patel, Durbin requested to respond to Blackburn’s jab at him and accused the Tennessee senator of ‘falsely’ accusing him ‘of preventing releasing the names of Jeffrey Epstein’s network.’

‘My office subsequently reached out to hers to try to identify what records she was actually seeking. We did not receive a response,’ he added.

Blackburn fired back and said she had ‘raised the issue with Chairman Durbin. I had raised it on the floor that we wanted to get these records… You sought not to recognize me.’

Patel’s nomination has sparked early criticism from some Democrats ahead of his confirmation hearing, who have cited his previous vows to prosecute journalists and career officials at the Justice Department and FBI that he sees as being part of the ‘deep state.’

Democrats had pointed to Patel’s record and a book, ‘Government Gangsters,’ released in 2023 that claimed that ‘deep state’ government employees have politicized and weaponized the law enforcement agency – and explicitly called for the revamp of the FBI in a chapter dubbed ‘Overhauling the FBI.’
