FBI Director Kash Patel threw cold water on a popular conspiracy theory surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
During a Senate appropriations hearing on Thursday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) quizzed the FBI Director about the circumstances surrounding the death of Epstein.
“Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?” Kennedy asked Patel
Patel replied by saying that he accepts that Epstein died by suicide.
“**I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center**,” Patel said.
The comment is particularly notable from Patel — who, prior to taking over as head of the FBI, regularly trafficked in Epstein conspiracy theories. He repeatedly accused the FBI of sitting on Epstein’s client list and said that he’d push for it to be released on Day 1 of the Trump administration.
With 108 days now having passed since President Donald Trump was inaugurated, and 77 days having passed since Patel was confirmed as FBI Director, Senator Kennedy — like many on the right — wants to know where the Epstein files are.

Let’s throw that statement into the LIAR function.
LIAR(Epstein hung himself) = Epstein did NOT hang himself.
I knew it!

After the US justice system treated him so fairly the first time ? I’d roll those dice again.

😆😆 how to lose credibility. You could simply say “he died in his cell” and omit “with someone’s hands around his neck” if you’re trying to avoid conspiracy theory comments
