<p>FBI Director Kash Patel went toe to toe with several Democrats during a Tuesday hearing in the House Judiciary Committee, clashing with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) over the release of files related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.</p>
<p>Raskin, who led the second impeachment hearings during President Donald Trump’s first term, heavily suggested that Patel was stonewalling Democrats in their persistent efforts to make the Epstein files public — efforts in which they showed no interest while former President Joe Biden was in office — and that he was likely doing so at Trump’s request. Patel repeatedly reminded Raskin that numerous court orders prevented him from simply releasing the files.</p>

<p>“YOU didn’t join us when we filed in the courts to release the court orders. You could’ve. You have lawyers. You…</p>

<p>“You were sworn in as director more than 200 days ago. Now the Black Book is under your direct control. So why haven’t you released the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls?” Raskin demanded.</p>
<p>Patel pointed to the multiple court orders and a previous agreement Epstein had reached with federal prosecutors, noting that the disgraced financier had been free for 12 years and previous administrations — including former President Barack Obama’s — had done nothing to move his case forward.</p>
<p>“Has anyone released more information on Epstein than I have? Did Comey? Did Wray?” Patel asked, and Raskin insisted that it wasn’t enough.</p>
<p>“Why don’t you just release the entire file as you promised to do?” Raskin asked.</p>
<p>“I literally just told you, there are multiple federal court orders, I’m not going to break the law to satisfy your curiosity,” Patel shot back. “You didn’t join us when we filed in the courts to release the court orders. You could’ve. You have lawyers. You could’ve shown up. You didn’t do that!”</p>
<p>“That’s a tiny fraction of the material we’re talking about,” Raskin insisted.</p>
<p>Patel pointed out that if the information had not been released, Raskin could not possibly know how much information there was. “How do you know that? Have you seen everything?”</p>
<p>“It’s all misdirection,” Raskin claimed as his time expired.</p>
