The FBI director refused to answer whether he ever told Attorney General Pam Bondi that President Donald Trump’s name was in the Epstein files or not.

FBI Director Kash Patel melted down when pressed to answer questions about President Donald Trump’s association with Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing. The 45-year-old began reciting the ABCs on Wednesday as an apparent delay tactic as Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell repeatedly asked if he ever told Attorney General Pam Bondi that the president’s name was in the so-called “Epstein Files.” Patel dodged the question twice, so Swalwell asked a third time—this time in a slow, patronizing manner.
