FBI Director Kash Patel:

Senator Lindsey Graham was a devoted public servant, a fierce defender of our nation, and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the people of South Carolina and the United States.

Our prayers are with his family, loved ones, colleagues, and all those who knew him during this devastating time.

The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available.

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he plans to publicly name alleged associates of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before leaving Congress and said there would be no high-level arrests while Todd Blanche and Kash Patel remain in power.

"Yes. Todd Blanche is violating the law. There's still millions of files they haven't released. We know from talking to the victims' lawyers that their own 302 forms haven't been released. We know that files have been over-redacted.

I have released at least three names of billionaires who are implicated in this. I don't think it's possible to get convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and FBI Director Kash Patel at the top, because they've effectively both perjured themselves by saying there's nobody else in the files.

Even Melania doesn't believe that. The first lady knows Jeffrey Epstein didn't act alone.

And here's the great thing, Kristen - whether I'm in Congress or not, the Epstein Files Transparency Act is law and it goes on for years. So if we can't get this attorney general and this FBI director to do the right thing, the next people who take those seats are obligated by law to release the files that these individuals are not releasing now."

FBI Director Kash Patel confirms investigation into the mysterious deaths and disappearances of nearly a dozen top-secret scientists tied to the Department of Energy. Trump recently held a meeting on the investigation.

Patel:

"These missing and killed scientists and former professional members of the Department of Energy vary in wide range, and we're working most importantly with our state and local partners who have the jurisdiction on each of these cases, whether they be a homicide or a missing person's case, they have the evidence."

"What we're going to do is collectively pull it all into one place."

"We started this process last week, and then we're going to look for connections, on whether there are connections to classified access, access to classified information and or foreign actors, and then we will produce that information to the White House and the world because it's of such great public importance."

"And if there's any connections that lead to nefarious conduct or conspiracy, this FBI will make the appropriate arrest."
