At a Judiciary hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu tells Patel the FBI can subpoena the information, then says Patel has confirmed that Epstein's client list exists and the Attorney General confirmed it earlier this year. Asked directly whether Prince Andrew and Donald Trump are on it, Patel only says the material has been made public and that the index of names has been released and "will speak for itself."

That's a great point. Yeah, that's just false. Okay. That's just false. You're the frickin' FBI. You can subpoena the information from this state, and you better do that. That's literally not how it works. I'm gonna move on now and talk about Epstein's client list. You confirm that exists. Attorney General Pambati confirmed earlier this year that exists. So I just wanna ask you a simple question. Is Prince Andrew on Epstein's client list? The material related to Prince Andrew has been made public. Is Prince Andrew on the client list? We have released the index of names that were in Jeffrey Epstein's… Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? The index has been released and the index will speak for itself. So I'm just going to say America is a huge red flag. The FBI director could not answer whether Donald Trump was on Epstein's client list. I do not recognize it.
