Epstein Survivors’ Fury: Patel’s ‘No Credible Info’ Claim Ignites Backlash Over Trafficker’s Elite Ties

🚨 BETRAYAL EXPOSED: 10 Epstein survivors and Virginia Giuffre’s own family just TORCHED FBI boss Kash Patel – “No credible info” on elite s*x trafficking? LIARS! 😑

Think about it: These brave women, scarred by Epstein’s horrors, watched Patel stonewall Congress, claiming the files show ZERO trafficking to powerful pals – despite their sworn stories naming names like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. Now, they’re roaring back: “You’re gaslighting us all over again!” With Trump’s admin dodging full file dumps and whispers of a cover-up to shield insiders, this could crack the elite pedo ring wide open… or bury the truth forever. The pain, the fury, the unanswered screams for justice – it’s heartbreaking, enraging, and way overdue.

What’s your take – demand the files or let it slide? Uncover the explosive survivor statement and fight for transparency here β†’

The ghosts of Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling sex-trafficking empire refuse to stay buried. Just days after FBI Director Kash Patel’s explosive testimony before Congress – where he flatly declared there was “no credible information” that the late financier pimped out underage girls to anyone beyond himself – a coalition of 10 survivors, including the siblings of Epstein’s most famous accuser, Virginia Giuffre, unleashed a blistering public rebuke. Their joint statement, released Thursday afternoon via the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program, doesn’t mince words: Patel’s remarks amount to a “shocking betrayal” that echoes the very institutional failures that let Epstein operate with impunity for decades. As calls mount for a full file dump and fresh probes, the clash underscores a bitter truth – in the Trump administration’s second act, transparency on Epstein remains as elusive as ever.

Patel’s testimony, delivered across two grueling days of oversight hearings on Capitol Hill, was supposed to be a routine check on the FBI’s inner workings. Instead, it devolved into a partisan slugfest, with Epstein’s shadow looming larger than the agenda items on Charlie Kirk’s assassination or agent firings. On Tuesday, before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana zeroed in: “Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to besides himself?” Patel, a Trump loyalist whose nomination sailed through confirmation on a party-line vote in January, leaned forward and replied without hesitation: “There is no credible information – none – that Epstein trafficked to other individuals.” He doubled down Wednesday in the House Judiciary Committee, insisting the bureau had scoured its files and found nothing warranting probes into “uncharged third parties.”

The director, a former House Intelligence Committee investigator known for his bombastic style and deep dives into alleged “deep state” plots, blamed the original sin on ex-Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s infamous 2008 sweetheart plea deal in Florida. That non-prosecution agreement, which let Epstein dodge federal charges despite evidence of dozens of underage victims, “limited search warrants” and handcuffed future investigations, Patel argued. “We’re releasing everything the court allows,” he told Democrats like Sen. Cory Booker, who accused him of building a “political FBI” to shield allies. But when pressed on victim testimonies naming high-profile figures – from Bill Gates to Britain’s Prince Andrew – Patel pivoted: Any leads deemed “not credible” by prior prosecutors stayed buried, he said, without elaborating.

The fallout was immediate and ferocious. House Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., brandished a poster of a purported 2003 birthday note from President Trump to Epstein – “Jeffrey, Happy Birthday! Love, Donald” – and thundered that Patel’s stance smacked of a “giant cover-up” to protect the commander-in-chief, whose Mar-a-Lago ties to Epstein are well-documented. Raskin moved to subpoena JPMorgan Chase and three other banks for suspicious activity reports on Epstein’s $1.5 billion in flagged transactions; Republicans tabled it 20-19, with even some GOP skeptics like Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voting no. Massie, a libertarian firebrand who’s pushed his own discharge petition for the files, grilled Patel: “Is it your assertion that these victims aren’t credible?” The director’s response – a curt “based on credible information, we’ve released all credible information” – only fueled the fire.

Enter the survivors. Their statement, circulated through attorney David Boies’ office and signed by Jess Michaels, Rachel Benavidez, Danielle Bensky, Marijke Chartouni, Annie Farmer, Marina Lacerda, Lara Blume McGee, Sharlene Rochard, Ashley Rubright, and Liz Stein – plus Sky and Amanda Roberts, siblings of the late Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2024 amid ongoing trauma – pulls no punches. “Director Patel’s testimony raises more questions than answers,” it begins, before dismantling his claims point by point. The group accuses him of deferring to “unnamed officials from prior administrations” – the very ones Patel once lambasted for a “cover-up” in his 2022 book Government Gangsters – without personally vetting victim reports or FD-302 interview summaries. “He has not read the reports himself; he has not spoken to the victims himself,” they write, highlighting how Epstein’s network allegedly funneled girls to at least 20 men, per court filings in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction.

Annie Farmer, one of the signatories and a key witness in Maxwell’s trial, went further in a CNN interview Thursday, her voice steady but laced with exhaustion: “When the systems meant to protect us recreate the abuse cycle, the betrayal that occurs can be just as damaging as the original trauma.” Farmer, who at 16 was groomed by Epstein on his New Mexico ranch in 1996, recounted how her own FBI interview in 2006 vanished into a black hole, much like the leads Patel now dismisses. Giuffre’s siblings, speaking for the first time publicly since her death, added a personal sting: Their sister, who alleged abuse by Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew (settled out of court in 2022), had begged for full transparency before her passing. “Virginia’s fight was ours too,” Sky Roberts told reporters outside the Capitol. “Patel’s words erase that.”

The backlash has bipartisan edges. Even House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., a Trump ally who’s championed file releases, hedged support Friday: “It would appear to be consistent” with what we’ve seen, he told Yahoo News, but stopped short of full-throated endorsement. Comer, whose committee dropped 10,000 pages from Epstein’s estate in August – mostly flight logs and address books sans bombshells – faces pressure from his own party’s MAGA flank, where QAnon-tinged theories paint Epstein as a Clinton hit job. On X, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles surged past 500,000 posts, with users like @piyushmittal blasting “#TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell piled on Thursday night, tying Patel’s reticence to Trump’s own Epstein history: a 2002 quote calling him a “terrific guy” who likes ’em young, later walked back amid lawsuits.

Patel’s defenders, sparse as they are, frame it as lawman realism. White House Press Secretary Abigail Jackson issued a statement praising his “outstanding job” at the FBI, from nabbing Kirk’s killer in 33 hours to “restoring integrity.” A DOJ memo leaked to Axios in July backed the line: no “credible evidence” of blackmail tapes or a client list, Epstein’s 2019 death ruled suicide by hanging. But survivors counter that “credible” is a weasel word – their affidavits, like Giuffre’s naming Alan Dershowitz (later retracted), were dismissed not for lies, but for lack of corroboration in a system stacked against the vulnerable. As one anonymous FBI veteran told Politico, “Kash is playing gotcha with ghosts – the real files are sealed tighter than Fort Knox.”

The Epstein saga, a festering wound since his 2005 Palm Beach bust, has claimed careers and toppled empires. Acosta resigned in 2019 amid backlash; Maxwell rots in a Florida supermax on a 20-year bid. Yet over 1,000 victims, per program estimates, await closure – $125 million in payouts from Epstein’s estate barely scratches the surface. Trump’s 2024 campaign vow to “declassify everything” rang hollow when July’s memo shut the door, prompting Massie’s petition – now one signature shy of a floor vote. Democrats like Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, R.I., smell blood: “Patel’s dodging like a man with something to hide.”

For the survivors, it’s personal. Danielle Bensky, abused at 15 on Epstein’s private jet, told The Daily Beast: “We testified under oath. Our bodies were the evidence. To call that ‘not credible’ is to call us liars – again.” Their plea ends with a clarion call: Interview the uncontacted witnesses, unseal the FD-302s, and let sunlight disinfect. Will Patel budge? He was noncommittal Wednesday on meeting victims, mumbling about “scheduling.”

As the administration hunkers down – Trump, fresh from a UK jaunt where Epstein photos were projected on Windsor Castle – the survivors’ voices cut through the noise. “We are not going to be quiet,” Farmer vowed. In a city built on secrets, that’s a promise worth betting on. But with midterms looming and Patel’s allies circling wagons, the files may stay locked, leaving justice as tantalizingly out of reach as Epstein’s infamous island. One thing’s certain: The survivors’ condemnation isn’t a footnote – it’s a flare in the dark, demanding the powerful finally face the music.
