Massie has accused Patel of engaging in a “troubling deflection” — specifically, Massie criticized Patel for refusing to commit to a clear timeline for making the Epstein-related FBI documents public, even after a legal mandate requiring release. Massie pointed out that while the administration claims to have released tens of thousands of documents, not a single name of individuals allegedly implicated in Epstein’s network has been made public. According to Massie, this suggests the release so far is superficial: “They say we’ve released 10,000 documents, 30,000 documents... but what they have failed to do so far is to release a single name.”


Massie argues that the reason given by Patel — that the FBI needs time or must follow internal processes — reads less like legitimate caution and more like stalling for political cover. He contends that the delays and vagueness serve only to protect powerful individuals who may be named in the files, rather than provide real transparency. Massie has said the public and Epstein’s survivors deserve full disclosure, including the names in the so-called “FD-302” witness interview forms.
