FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have shocked Maga conspiracy theorists with the recent verdict that the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in 2019.

On Sunday, Bongino and Patel sat down with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News and declared they had concluded that, contrary to hard-right extremists’ claims that Epstein was somehow killed inside New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, the pedophile had taken his own life.

A recent FBI release of new Epstein files was met with dismay by Maga influencers.

Bartiromo said to Bongino and Patel, “You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide… People don’t believe it.”

Patel acknowledged, “[Everyone has] a right to their opinion.”

He continued, “But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who has been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing – you know a suicide when you see one.
