'You are in the Epstein files?' MAGA fury hits Kash Patel over his new statement

The head of the FBI, Kash Patel, was hit with a MAGA firestorm on Saturday after he proudly proclaimed, "The conspiracy theories just aren’t true."

Patel was likely referencing the conspiracy theories about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted for child sex crimes, and his "list" of powerful people with whom he was purportedly in cahoots. The FBI recently released evidence suggesting Epstein did indeed kill himself, and the list is a myth.

Trump dealt with blowback from MAGA fans on Saturday, and so did Patel.

"The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States Trump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me," he wrote on X.
