YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday blamed past administrations for the “original sin” he argued hamstrung the bureau in its prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.

Patel pointed a finger at Alex Acosta, a former U.S. attorney who first prosecuted Epstein’s case, who went on to serve as Labor Secretary under the first Trump administration.

“The original sin in the Epstein case was the way it was initially brought by Mr. Acosta back in 2006. The original case involved a very limited search warrant or set of search warrants, and didn’t take as much investigatory material as it should have seized,” Patel said.
