FBI chief Patel says ‘no credible information’ others involved in Epstein crimes, and frankly, the whole thing feels like a bad joke. The idea that, after everything we know, the FBI chief can casually declare there’s “no credible information” implicating anyone else in Epstein’s crimes is, at the very least, eyebrow-raising.

Despite calls for more transparency, the FBI maintains that the investigation only implicates Epstein himself.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the fired agents, seeks reinstatement, back pay, and a declaration of the firings’ illegality, arguing that Patel prioritized political motivations over protecting the American people. The suit further asserts the firings were driven by a desire to remove experienced personnel, thereby undermining national security and causing reputational damage.
