Kash Patel Vows to Dismantle Child Sex Trafficking Rings and Expose Jeffrey Epstein’s Client List
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, vowed to take down child trafficking networks during his confirmation hearing Thursday.
“I know that breaking up these trafficking rings is important to President Trump,” said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). “So will you work with me on this issue? So we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings?”
“Absolutely, senator,” Patel replied. “Child sex trafficking has no place in the United States of America, and I will do everything if confirmed as FBI director to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past, and how we are going to [counteract] missing children and exploited children going forward.”
During his opening statement, the former chief of staff to Trump’s Acting Defense Secretary said he’d faithfully execute his duties to the Constitution and the American people.
“Protecting the rights of the Constitution is of the utmost importance to me, and has been every single time I’ve taken that oath of office,” Patel said. “The recent terrorist attacks in New Orleans tragically claimed the lives of 14 Americans, and serve as a stark reminder that our national security is at threat, both internally and externally. The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, where I served, play a pivotal role in securing our freedoms and our safeties for American citizens.”
