US EditionHouse Panel Grills FBI Director Kash Patel over Epstein Materials
FBI Director Kash Patel addresses criticism over investigation misstatements and ongoing probes including Epstein files and activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, amid congressional scrutiny.
- On September 17, 2025, Kash Patel appeared before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C., to answer questions regarding his management of files connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
- The questioning arose amid pressure to release more Epstein-related documents despite federal court orders restricting grand jury materials, which Patel cited as legal constraints.
- Patel insisted he released all materials legally allowed while clashing with lawmakers like Jamie Raskin and Cory Booker, who challenged his refusal to disclose names of Epstein's co-conspirators.
- During the hearing, Patel emphasized that he must adhere to legal boundaries despite pressure, while Raskin questioned if anyone had disclosed more information about Epstein than Patel, underscoring the ongoing disagreements.
- This standoff suggests lawmakers may pursue new legislation to compel further Justice Department disclosures, reflecting continued scrutiny over the Epstein investigation and FBI transparency.
