FBI leaders Dan Bongino and Kash Patel recently reiterated their stance that Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in 2019, died by suicide, dismissing conspiracy theories suggesting foul play. They assured viewers on Fox News of the existence of surveillance footage from Epstein’s prison cell, which Bongino claimed shows no one entered or approached Epstein at the time of his death. He emphasized the absence of forensic evidence pointing to another individual’s involvement, stating, “There’s no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints.” He called for any credible evidence of wrongdoing to be shared with law enforcement.
Patel also confirmed the suicide ruling, promising to release more information about the investigation, which has drawn persistent speculation due to Epstein’s connections with high-profile figures. Prior to his role in the FBI, Bongino had promoted various conspiracy theories regarding Epstein’s death, asserting he would not let the narrative fade away.
Moreover, both Bongino and Patel have been vocal critics of the FBI under the Biden administration, alleging it is compromised and politicized. They have suggested that “deep state” elements within the FBI have concealed information regarding significant events such as the January 6 Capitol attack and the recent cocaine discovery in the White House. Bongino expressed dissatisfaction with the job, citing strain on his family life but indicating that necessary changes are being implemented at the FBI.
Currently, the FBI is revisiting cases from the Biden era, including the investigation of pipe bombs planted during the Capitol attack, with Bongino noting promising new leads. The ongoing questioning surrounding Epstein’s death underscores a larger narrative of distrust and conspiracy theories associated with prominent figures and institutions.
