Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

FBI 302: The woman said Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 13–15: “It was Donald Trump.” She said Trump told her “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” then raped her. She said she fought back, Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.” #OpDeathEaters
Epstein took her off the island when she was between 13 and 15, she told agents on 7 August 2019, and drove or flew her to New York or New Jersey. She was "introduced to someone with money, money... It was Donald Trump." Others were with them, in a very tall building with huge rooms. Eighteen pages of handwritten notes cover that interview. Its typed summary, filed under case number 31E-NY-3027571 and marked PROTECT SOURCE, went online in March 2026.

Trump did not like her, "from the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl", the 302 records her saying, a reference to her being a tomboy. She could not identify the others present. They all left when Trump asked everyone to leave the room.

He said something to the effect of "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be." He unzipped his trousers and put her head, in the 302's phrasing, "down to his penis". She "bit the shit out of it". He struck her and said words to the effect of "get this little bitch the hell out of here." Agents returning to the incident in a later interview recorded her clarifying what the blow had been: he "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head".

She bit him because he disgusted her, she told agents. "He had money, it reeked off of him."

FBI 302: The woman asked agents to keep her safe, said, “Throughout my life his people have found me, have kept tabs on me.” She said Epstein discussed blackmailing people; Trump knew because she overheard them, and that she heard Trump talking about washing money through casinos. #OpDeathEaters
A blonde woman approached her later that day. "Let me give you a tip little girl about your breasts, wear a bra every night," the woman said. Those words stayed with her through the years, she told agents.

She thought jealousy ran between the two men, with Trump the jealous one at first, until at some point they ended up on a level playing field. Trump and Epstein used the words "fresh meat", "untainted" and "not jaded" about girls. She did not know what "not jaded" meant at the time and looked the word up afterwards.

Two additional interactions with Trump followed, she told agents, and then she asked that the interview move to a different subject for the time being. Agents did not return to it in the two remaining interviews.

Epstein talked about blackmailing people in front of her, and she was confident Trump knew, because she heard the two of them discussing it. Trump had illegal building permits, she said. She heard him talking about washing money through casinos. Six was his favourite number, and she was not sure how she knew that.

Epstein's blackmail of her mother "ruined my family", she told agents.

She asked the agents to keep her safe. "Throughout my life his people have found me, have kept tabs on me," the 302 records, with Epstein's name in the original.

Trump denies wrongdoing. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has called the allegations "completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence" and has pointed to the woman's criminal record. The previous administration's Justice Department "knew about them for four years and did nothing with them", she said. A White House statement said earlier that if the claims had "a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already". Trump said after the March release that he had nothing to hide and had been exonerated.
