FBI Director Kash Patel recently claimed on X that his agency has delivered on promises of "transparency," but the post was flagged with a Community Note adding context and pushback. The note reminded viewers that many documents tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remain sealed or redacted, and questioned Patel’s assertion that court orders were the main barrier to releasing full files. Critics say the claim glosses over this opacity.

Patel's broader handling of the Epstein matter has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, who pressed him on whether all relevant records have been reviewed or disclosed. In recent hearings, he declined to answer some questions — including how often former President Trump appears in the files — and defended the FBI’s disclosures by saying they had released all "legally allowed" material.
