Let the speculation begin — Thomas Massie just got Kash Patel to admit under oath that Epstein Files include ‘a high-profile government official’

As time moves forward, Donald Trump’s supporters are finding it increasingly difficult to uphold their lies due to ongoing pressures from external forces, especially those leaning towards the left.

Since the controversial Epstein emails, which mention Donald Trump several times, came to light last week, Republicans have mostly been keeping a very low profile and deflecting questions only when required. In the middle of this, several older videos, some featuring Jeffrey Epstein and others discussing him, have resurfaced on social media, raising further questions among the public.

The FBI has been accused for quite some time of attempting to keep the details of the Epstein Files under wraps to protect the reputations of several high-profile individuals who might be mentioned. A recently surfaced video featuring FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, where Massie questions Patel about the Epstein investigation, may just be supporting these allegations. In a video that has gained significant traction on social media, Thomas Massie is seen pressing Kash Patel for accountability regarding the Epstein case, inquiring about the delay in the files’ release. While Patel mostly spoke ambiguously throughout their conversation, one particular exchange between Massie and Patel is currently attracting considerable scrutiny.

After Thomas Massie points out that the Epstein Files contain the names of at least 20 men, including Jes Staley (CEO of Barclays), a Hollywood producer, a royal prince, a music industry figure, a prominent banker, a high-profile government official, a former politician, an Italian car company owner, a rockstar, a magician, and at least six billionaires, including one from Canada, he asks Patel if he has launched an investigation into any of these individuals. Patel confirms that he has asked the FBI to review ‘the entirety of the Epstein Files’ and to provide any ‘credible information.’

Many have taken Patel’s response to Massie’s comments as a way of validating Massie’s claims about the individuals mentioned in the Epstein Files. Especially regarding the mention of ‘a high-profile government official,’ many have speculated that this refers to Donald Trump, due to years of discussion surrounding his alleged friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and recent emails (previously mentioned) that imply Trump may have known more than he is willing to admit about Epstein’s sexual offences against underage women.
