Patel said he believes Epstein hanged himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Asked when all the information would come out, Patel said only "in the near future" and that they are working through it with the Justice Department. "Like before I die?" Kennedy shot back.

Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him? Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Intention Center. Are you going to release all the information about that? Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice. When do you think you'll have it done, Cash? I think in the near future, sir. Like before I die? Senator we are we are we've been working on that and we're doing it in a way that protects victims and also doesn't put out into the ether information that is irrelevant for production of the public such as CSAN. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
