'Ask the FBI': Karoline Leavitt throws Kash Patel under the bus on Epstein releases

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were to blame for refusing to release additional files on Jeffrey Epstein.

While speaking to reporters Monday, Leavitt was asked why President Donald Trump had not "just ordered the FBI to release the full Epstein files."

"The president has said if the Department of Justice and the FBI want to move forward with releasing any further credible evidence, they should do so. As to why they have or have not or will, you should ask the FBI about that," the press secretary replied.

"Do you call on Kash Patel to do more?" one reporter wondered.

"Again, as I just answered, the president has told the attorney general and the FBI director to release any credible evidence that they find," Leavitt repeated, "and he also signaled to them over the weekend to move forward with unsealing the grand jury documents that were under sealed by various judges across the country and I believe the attorney general has taken the proper legal action to do that."
