During a Senate appropriations hearing, FBI Director Kash Patel affirmed that he believes Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, specifically stating, "I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center." This comment marks a shift from Patel's previous engagement with Epstein conspiracy theories, where he had suggested the FBI was withholding Epstein's client list. Senator John Kennedy expressed frustration regarding the timeline for releasing related files, prompting Patel to assure progress is being made while also considering victim protection and avoiding dissemination of irrelevant information.
I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center, Patel said, reaffirming his acceptance of Epstein's suicide as the cause of death.
Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice, Patel said, addressing ongoing efforts regarding Epsteinâs associated files.
