FBI Director Kash Patel: Epstein was not murdered, he committed suicide

Published May 10, 2025 | By NewsJive.com

At Tursday’s Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Senator John Kennedy raised a series of questions with FBI Director Kash Patel, covering several issues, including the controversial death of Jeffrey Epstein.

Kennedy asked Patel, “Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself, or did somebody kill him?” Patel answered, “Senator, I believe he hang himself in a cell in the Metropolitan detention center”.

Like many others in America, Senator Kennedy questioned Patel on whether the FBI plans to release any information about this publicly. This follows promises made by the Trump administration months before he was even elected president, regarding the so-called “Epstein files.”

However, no relevant information has been released so far. Patel responded, “We are working through that now with the Department of Justice.”

But Kennedy insisted on knowing when this would happen. Patel responded with a vague and evasive answer, saying, “I think in the near future, Sir.”

Kennedy then lightened the mood with a follow-up question, joking, “Like before I die?”

But Kennedy never got any straight answer. Patel didn’t provid any proper answer, once again resorting to political jargon, dodging the question with a string of vague statements, ultimately leaving no concrete response.

Both Patel and Attorney General Pamela “Pam” Bondi, along with much of the Trump administration, have so far been a major disappointment in the Epstein case for many Americans. Their promises to release the so-called “Epstein files” have not materialized, and many believe that nothing of value will be made public ever.

What really happened to the pedophile oligarch Jeffrey Epstein in his jail cell when he died remains a mystery. Many believe Epstein was murdered, as he was suspected of knowing too much about powerful individuals whom he may have blackmailed. Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell says Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.

Some claim that he had connections to Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad. However, this remains speculation, as no evidence has been released.

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell on August 10, 2019, with the official cause of death ruled as suicide by hanging. However, several factors surrounding his death raised suspicions, including lapses in jail security, the failure of cameras to record, and the fact that he had recently been taken off suicide watch despite previous suicide attempts.

The nature of his injuries also led some experts to question whether it was really a suicide or murder. His death occurred just before his trial, where he could have implicated powerful figures, fueling conspiracy theories that he was silenced.

Despite these suspicions, no definitive evidence has emerged to support foul play, and the official ruling remains suicide.

Jeffrey Epstein was known to have a friendship with Donald Trump, and the two were acquainted for many years, socializing in high-profile circles. Trump has acknowledged knowing Epstein and described him as a “terrific guy” before distancing himself after Epstein’s 2019 arrest.

While Trump has denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities, their relationship has fueled speculation, though no evidence has emerged linking Trump to Epstein’s crimes.
