WASHINGTON — FBI Director Kash Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday for a four-and-a-half-hour hearing focused on his agency’s handling of two major investigations: the probe involving Representative James Kirk and the management of files related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Patel, who has led the FBI amid growing scrutiny, answered questions from both Republican and Democratic senators concerning transparency, accountability, and internal processes under his leadership.

At the center of the hearing was the investigation into Rep. Kirk. Lawmakers questioned Patel over alleged mismanagement and bias in the case. Senators sought detailed explanations about whether the FBI followed proper legal procedures and upheld its commitment to impartiality.

In his testimony, Patel stated that the FBI “acted in accordance with agency protocols” and remained “committed to the rule of law.”

He denied that partisan considerations had influenced the investigation, saying that the agency had maintained neutrality throughout.

Senators also pressed Patel about the FBI’s handling of the Epstein files. Lawmakers cited previous criticisms regarding the bureau’s failure to release certain documents and the perceived lack of transparency in the Epstein investigation. Committee members asked whether the FBI had taken steps to address these concerns.

Patel responded by outlining internal security measures currently in place to safeguard classified materials. He said the bureau had reviewed its procedures and had “instituted changes where appropriate” to protect the integrity of sensitive investigations while balancing public interest in transparency.

Patel acknowledged the challenges facing the bureau and emphasized his commitment to strengthening internal controls and improving communication with both Congress and the public. He said the FBI continues to evolve its policies in response to oversight and public expectations.

The Judiciary Committee is expected to continue its review of the FBI’s practices in the coming months, with several members calling for follow-up briefings and additional documentation related to the Kirk and Epstein cases.
