Patel Confirms Trump Appears in Epstein Files -- Then Backtracks - Liberal Lens



A heated exchange erupts when Rep. Dan Goldman presses FBI Director Kash Patel about the Epstein files and whether Donald Trump appears in them. Patel’s evasions, shifting explanations, and reliance on ambiguous court orders raise serious questions about transparency and how much information the FBI is choosing not to release.

Goldman challenges Patel on why videos, photographs, and witness interviews remain sealed even when they are not covered by grand jury rules or protective orders. This confrontation highlights ongoing concerns about whether institutions are withholding key information and avoiding full disclosure.

This moment is a powerful reminder that the public deserves clarity, transparency, and accountability — especially in cases involving influential figures and systemic failures. - 11/28/2025.
