At a Senate hearing, Durbin says Patel diverted more than 1,000 FBI agents to 24-hour shifts reviewing the files, with instructions to flag any record mentioning President Trump. He says the review ended in an unsigned DOJ/FBI memo claiming there is no incriminating client list, that Patel never answered a letter sent more than a year ago, and that Patel reportedly joined a White House Situation Room meeting on protecting the president from the fallout.

during ill -conceived missions. Director Patel has also played a key role in the Trump administration's coverup of the Epstein files. Director Patel diverted more than 1 ,000 FBI agents from their critical missions to work on 24 -hour shifts reviewing every page of the Epstein files. These personnel were instructed to flag any records in which President Trump's name was mentioned. That review ended in an unsigned memorandum from the Department of Justice and FBI simply claiming, quote, there is no incriminating client list in the Epstein files, close quote. Director Patel still has not responded to our letter from more than a year ago asking about his personal role in this cover -up. But we now know that Director Patel reportedly joined in a meeting at the White House Situation Room about how to protect the president from fallout from this cover -up of the Epstein files.
