Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Asked Patel about how Epstein would manage the case. The sexual traffic funder died in 2019 while waiting for trial.

“I want to talk to you about the case of Epstein. I have worked on this for years trying to get these records of who flew Epstein’s plane And he helped him to build this international sex traffic ring with people traffic, “he said.
He used his statements to make a dagger for former judicial president Dick Dubin.
“Now, before, I urged President Durbin to cite these records, and ended up blocked by Senator Durbin and Christopher Wray. They said,” he said. “And I know that breaking these traffic rings is important for President Trump. So will you work with me on this topic? So do we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein on the creation of these sex traffic rings?” She asked.

“Absolutely Senator,” Patel responded. “Children’s trafficking does not take place in the United States of America. And I will do everything, if confirmed as director of the FBI, to ensure that the North -American audience knows all the weight of what happened in the Past and how we are going to fight the children and children exploited the missing, “he said.
Following the exchange between Blackburn and Patel, Durbin requested to respond to Blackburn’s Jab and accused Tennessee Senator of accusing him “falsely” to avoid releasing names from the Jeffrey Epstein network. “
“Later, my office contacted his own to try to identify which records he really sought. We did not receive a response,” he added.
Blackburn said goodbye and said he had “raised the problem with President Durbin. He had proposed it on the flat we wanted to get these records … You tried not to recognize -me.”
Patel’s nomination has provoked the first criticisms of some Democrats before their confirmation audience, who have quoted their previous votes to pursue journalists and career officials in the Department of Justice and the FBI who consider them to be part of the “State deep ”.
