The newly appointed FBI leadership under Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino has ignited a firestorm across conservative circles after publicly backing the official narrative that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide — AND brushing off explosive concerns about the shocking assassination attempts on President Donald Trump.

During a tense Fox News appearance with Maria Bartiromo, the two Trump allies, celebrated as Deep State slayers, parroted the same discredited government line that patriots have fought against for years.

During the interview, Bartiromo asked Patel and Bongino about Patel’s recent Senate testimony, where he was grilled by Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) about Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

Kennedy asked, “Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?”

Patel’s response was, “Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center.”

When Bartiromo challenged Patel, noting that “people don’t believe it,” Patel leaned on his experience as a public defender and prosecutor.

Maria Bartiromo:
You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it.

Kash Patel:
Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion. But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing—you know a suicide when you see one. And that’s what that was.

Dan Bongino:
He killed himself. Again, you want me to… I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself.

Infowars host Alex Jones expressed his disapproval of Patel and Bongino’s claims, labeling them as “bullshit.”

Epstein was housed in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), a facility known for its stringent security measures. Yet, on the night of his death, multiple protocols were inexplicably breached:

Guards assigned to Epstein’s unit reportedly fell asleep and failed to perform mandatory checks for approximately three hours. They later falsified records to cover up their negligence.

Two cameras positioned outside Epstein’s cell malfunctioned that night, and a third camera’s footage was deemed unusable.

Epstein’s cellmate was transferred the evening before his death, leaving him alone, contrary to standard procedures for inmates at risk.

The New York City medical examiner concluded that Epstein died by suicide via hanging. However, Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s family, observed the autopsy and noted injuries more consistent with homicidal strangulation, including fractures of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage.
