Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday about whether convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Epstein, who pled guilty to sex charges in 2008, committed suicide while awaiting trial after he was arrested in 2019 on new charges. Kennedy asked Patel if he would see the release about what happened to Epstein in his lifetime during a hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.
