Patel and Bongino sat down for a joint interview on Sunday with Maria Bartiromo, the host of Sunday Morning Futures, where they made their comments about Epstein, however sheepishly. “You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it,” Bartiromo said, referring to recent testimony Patel gave to Congress.

On Sunday, Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo grilled FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy director, Dan Bongino, over the far-right conspiracy that the wealthy sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein didn’t commit suicide but was killed in prison in 2019 to prevent him from incriminating the Clintons and other world leaders.
