At a congressional hearing, Ted Lieu asks Kash Patel whether the Epstein files include the birthday message Donald Trump wrote to Epstein. Patel points instead to the Epstein estate, saying it holds "a voluminous amount of information" never released, and claims the estate is under no obligation to hand it over even under a subpoena. Lieu calls that false and tells Patel the FBI had "better" subpoena it.

Have you looked at all the photos in Epstein files? I have looked at all the information that the investigators who investigated this case have provided to run out credible leads. And in the Epstein files was there that creepy birthday message that Donald Trump had written to Epstein? But that's what I was trying to tell you. You raise a great point. The estate of Jeffrey Epstein has a voluminous amount of information that they have not released before. Okay, so that's great. So would it be great if FBI subpoenaed the state of Jeff Heffsene for all that information? The estate is under no obligation to provide that material even pursuant to a subpoena. That's a great point. Yeah, that's just that's just false. Okay. That just falls. You're the frickin FBI. You can subpoena the information from this state and you better do that.
