Kash Patel denies rumors he’s quitting the FBI over DoJ ruling on Epstein files | FBI
FBI director Kash Patel denied rumors of whirling resignation on a misfortune reported during a decision of the Ministry of Justice to close the book on Jeffrey Epstein after the administration officials teased a great revelation earlier in the year.
In a social media position on Saturday, the agency director said: “conspiracy theories are simply not true, have never been. It is an honor to serve the President of the United States – and I will continue to do it as long as he calls me.”
During last week, Maga Hardliners, including the representative of Georgia Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former White House advisor Steve Bannon and – apparently – the deputy director of the FBI Dan Bongino, was strongly critical of a joint decision by the American prosecutor Pam Bondi and the list of FBI customers.
The criticisms criticized the conclusion of the FBI Department of Justice on the official Epstein autopsy that the disgrace was dragged into his cell. Many refused to accept that, repeating a conspiracy theory that Epstein, who died in August 2019 pending trial, was in fact assassinated to silence it.
“This systematic review has not revealed any incriminating” list of customers “, said the note. “No credible evidence also found that Epstein made eminent individuals sing in the context of his actions. We have not revealed any evidence that could predict an investigation against non -loaded third parties. ”
The rumors of the gap between the FBI and the Ministry of Justice about the note were refused by the deputy prosecutor General Todd Blanche, who wrote on social networks that there is “no daylight” between the FBI and the Ministry of the Directorate of Justice on the issue.
“I worked in close collaboration with [Kash and Bongino] On the FBI and DoJ’s memo concerning Epstein files. We have all signed the content of the note and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion of anyone that there was daylight between the FBI and the leadership of the Doj on the composition and the release of this note is manifestly false, “said Blanche.
But Friday, NBC News reported that Bongino was planning to withdraw from his post at the FBI after a “animated confrontation” with Bondi on the issue.
“Bongino is out of control,” said the person who spoke with the deputy director of the FBI. “It destroyed his career. He threatens to leave and fire PAM unless she was dismissed.”
Donald Trump has also become festive with repeated questions about Epstein, who once was a neighbor of Palm Beach. He broke out on Tuesday when he was in a hurry on an apparent difference of one minute in a 10 -hour video recorded outside the Epstein cell.
“Do you still talk about Jeffrey Epstein?” He said. “This guy has spoken for years … Do people always talk about this type, this flipper? It’s incredible.”
Bondi has since explained that the missing minute of surveillance film was simply the recording equipment resetting, as it does every night.
However, it is not clear that Magi Hardliners is willing to leave the theories of the Epstein conspiracy to take place – they have provided a constant flow of material which supposedly supports their theories of a deep state.
But no evidence appeared that Epstein was engaged in a conspiracy in order to blackmail high-level visitors, notably the British prince Andrew, his houses in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.
The FBI-DOJ memo said that it had revealed “a large amount of equipment”, including more than 300 GB of physical data that included “a large volume of Epstein images, images and videos of victims who are minors or seem to be minors, and more than ten thousand videos downloaded and images of materials of sexual mistreatment and illegal pornography”.
“Thanks to this review, we did not find any basis to review the disclosure of these documents and do not allow the release of juvenile pornography,” said the memo.
