🔴 FINDING #31 — EPSTEIN ESTATE REFUSES TO SHARE RECORDS

Source: EFTA00164105 · November 25, 2025 · Deep Sweep Score: 465

An FBI News Service daily summary documented Director Patel’s statements to journalist Catherine Herridge about the Epstein case. Patel confirmed that the Epstein estate is actively refusing to cooperate with the FBI’s renewed investigation.

“Based on the new referral, we’ll take a look at that and see what evidence comes, but there’s an important distinction. The information that the government possesses versus the information that the Epstein estate possesses, those are two separate boxes of information and the Epstein estate has not been willing to share information with the U.S. government…and so even though we’ve requested them to do so,”

— FBI Director Kash Patel, November 25, 2025 (EFTA00164105)

THE MOST RECENT DOCUMENT: This is the most recent document in the entire 900,000+ page Epstein file dataset — dated November 2025. It shows the investigation is still technically active, but the estate is stonewalling the FBI.

💰 THE $851,344 TRANSPARENCY PROJECT

Under Patel’s FBI, the “Epstein Transparency Project” cost $851,344 in overtime in a single week (March 17–22), with personnel working nights and weekends. Materials reviewed included search warrant execution photos, street surveillance video, and aerial footage.

Over 161 pages were withheld due to “ongoing law enforcement proceedings.”

THE QUESTION: If the FBI is spending $851K per week on “transparency,” why are 161 pages still being withheld? And why is the Epstein estate able to refuse FBI requests without consequence?

🔴 CHILD EXPLOITATION UNITS GUTTED

Under the same administration that claims to be pursuing Epstein transparency, the FBI’s actual child exploitation enforcement has been devastated:

Child exploitation indictments dropped 28%
Child victims rescued dropped 17%
Up to 45% of FBI agents working child exploitation were reassigned to immigration enforcement

THE CONTRADICTION: The administration publicly promises to “get Epstein’s co-conspirators” while simultaneously gutting the very units that investigate child exploitation. Patel oversees both the transparency theater and the enforcement collapse.

🎤 “WE WILL FIND THE CONSPIRATORS”

Source: Public statements · Confirmation hearings

Before becoming FBI Director, Patel made sweeping promises about the Epstein case:

“We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media.”

— Kash Patel, prior to FBI confirmation

Since taking office, no new indictments related to Epstein co-conspirators have been announced. The estate continues to refuse cooperation. The agents who would investigate have been reassigned.

PROMISE vs. REALITY: Patel promised to find conspirators. Instead, child exploitation units lost 45% of their agents, indictments dropped 28%, and the Epstein estate successfully stonewalls the FBI with no apparent consequences.

📊 IN THE FILES

Patel appears in the most recent document in the entire Epstein file release (EFTA00164105, November 2025). His statements confirm the investigation remains technically open but functionally stalled.
