“Director Patel talks about rules and process, but he has not met with a single Epstein victim and refuses to release the key helicopter transfer records. That’s not justice — that’s a pretence.”

In the hearing, one of the most emotional exchanges came from a female lawmaker who was visibly upset.

She pressed Director Patel on:

Patel reportedly responded that he had been briefed on victim cases, but the criticism was that no direct outreach had been made to the victims themselves.

From what’s come out:

Why he had not met with any of Epstein’s female victims since becoming FBI Director.

She framed it as a matter of basic duty and empathy — if the FBI is holding Epstein files and saying victims matter, then meeting the survivors should have been the first step.

• On paper Patel insists the FBI is following the rules — releasing only what courts allow, citing protective orders, and saying he’s been “briefed” on the victims.
• In practice he hasn’t personally met with survivors, hasn’t pressed for the missing records (like helicopter transfers), and is carrying a potential conflict of interest (the Shein-linked shares).
• That creates the sense he’s a figurehead or “pretence” — projecting activity, but not actually advancing justice for the victims or full transparency for the public.

In hearings, that’s why the pushback is so sharp: lawmakers and victim advocates see that gap between what he says and what he’s really doing.

“How can the FBI Director investigate Chinese influence when he personally holds up to $5 million in Shein-linked shares?”

⚠️ Why It Matters

• Shein has deep supply chain ties to China, raising national security and foreign influence concerns.
• The FBI investigates Chinese influence and espionage — creating a potential conflict of interest if its Director holds stock in a Shein-linked company.
• Lawmakers questioned Patel in the hearing about this connection — it’s now public record.
