1. "Epstein trafficked to no one"?

If "Epstein trafficked to no one," then why was he being prosecuted on federal sex-trafficking charges when he "died by suicide" in 2019. Kash might recall that Epstein was being investigated by Trump's FBI in 2019, leading to his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges in July of that year.

Maybe Patel believes Epstein was innocent since the criminal case against him was dismissed under the legal rule of abatement (when a defendant dies before a final judgment is issued, the indictment is wiped clean). Still, federal authorities continued their investigation into Epstein's associates, leading to the prosecution and conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell, his key co-conspirator.
