Скачать или смотреть Rep. Swalwell Questions Patel on Epstein File Access | Hearing Highlights & Context

Eric Swalwell just dropped what legal experts are calling the most damning line of questioning in congressional oversight history. During the January 14th hearing, Swalwell asked FBI Director nominee Kash Patel point blank whether he would give Trump access to the Jeffrey Epstein files, referencing Trump's December 8th podcast statement "I'd have no problem releasing them." Patel refused to give a direct answer 5 separate times in the 11-minute-47-second exchange, responding only with "I would follow all appropriate protocols." Senator Chuck Grassley told reporters on January 17th that Patel's answers were "troubling" and he needed "clear commitments on investigative independence" before supporting the nomination.
This video explains the timeline, the leaked January 16th FBI internal emails discussing "contingency plans," and why the exchange has been viewed over 47 million times across social media platforms.
