Kennedy is ready for answers.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) put FBI Director Kash Patel on the spot this week, demanding answers about Jeffrey Epstein’s suspicious jailhouse death.

During a Senate Appropriations hearing, Kennedy asked bluntly if the American people would ever know the truth about Epstein’s alleged suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

“Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?” Kennedy asked Patel, who responded. “Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

“Are you going to release all the information about that?” Kennedy asked in response.

“Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice,” Patel answered.

“When you think you’ll have it done, Kash?” Kennedy asked, with Patel responding, “I think… in the near future?”

“Like before I die?” Kennedy asked.

“Senator… we are, we’ve been working on that and we are doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn’t put out into the ether information that is irrelevant for production for the public, such as CSAM [child sexual abuse material],” Patel said.
