Trafficking to Nobody: FBI Director Kash Patel Testifies UNDER OATH that Epstein Perpetrators Can’t be Named Because Evidence Never Secured
Kash Patel’s Senate testimony this week landed like a thunderclap: the FBI director called the “original sin” in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation the way then–U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta handled the 2006 case, arguing limited search warrants and narrow seizures explain why the bureau cannot name alleged co-perpetrators.
Worse, he appears to have committed perjury.
Why is the FBI Director, Kash Patel, lying?
Investigative reporter Nick Bryant is the man who first published Epstein’s black book and flight logs back in 2015. He lives this case every day and has a Ph.D. in all things Epstein.

This clip of Kash is money for all the wrong reasons:
Veteran investigative reporter Nick Bryant — who has spent years obtaining and publishing primary documents tied to Epstein’s network — raises disturbing questions. If evidence was truly lost, destroyed, or never collected, Bryant argues, that is not an explanation so much as an indictment of federal stewardship of the probe. He’ll show how local Palm Beach police had been developing leads before the feds took control, and why those leads matter to victims and to the public record.
This pitch offers Bryant as the authoritative storyteller to cut through the political spin: he’ll map timelines, forensic gaps, and discrepancies between public statements and the documents he has already published. He’ll explain, plainly, what “limited search warrants” meant in practice, what evidence appears to be missing, and how that absence makes Patel’s inability to name other perpetrators impossible to accept at face value.
Timing is explosive. Capitol Hill is reportedly one signature short of the House discharge petition that would force release of the Epstein files — while an effort in the Senate to compel disclosure was recently blocked amid partisan maneuverings. Those realities, Bryant says, illustrate how political calculations continue to stymie transparency.
Why Bryant? He brings documents, sourcing, and a journalist’s ability to translate forensic detail into TV-friendly narratives. Package options: a 6–8 minute broadcast segment or a 1,000-word feature, complete with annotated documents, exclusive sourcing, and concrete asks for Congress. Bryant will close by outlining document requests and legislative solutions that would let sunlight finish the job prosecutors started — and why the public must insist on answers.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist. He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally.
I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity. In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
