FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino have defended Trump amid the ongoing Epstein saga. In July, the two supported the release of the agency’s findings that concluded the deceased financier kept no “client list” and announced the Trump administration would not unveil additional files tied to convicted sex offender’s dealings.

The Republican president's supporters want the government to release secret files about Epstein, who authorities say killed himself in his New York jail cell six years ago while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

President Donald Trump is traveling to Scotland but back in Washington, his administration faces growing scrutiny over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
