FBI director Kash Patel said he will investigate claims from President Trump that a letter bearing his signature is a fake, the Hill reports.

Patel appeared on Capitol Hill for a second consecutive day to take questions from lawmakers. There was one topic that Democrats brought up repeatedly at Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee Hearing: Jeffrey Epstein.

Ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) kicked off the spectacle by displaying a large blow-up print of an alleged letter Trump wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday. Trump has maintained that the letter is fake.

Patel grilled on Epstein

Democrats have been almost singularly focused on Epstein ever since the Justice Department said it would close the case in July, prompting cries of a cover-up.

At Wednesday's hearing, Democrats repeatedly suggested that Epstein was part of a shadowy criminal conspiracy, echoing theories that have long swirled within Trump's own base. Democrats accused Trump and Patel of covering for this alleged cabal, with Raskin demanding "the names of Epstein's co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls."

Democrats were not subtle about insinuating that Trump is on Epstein's hypothetical client list, which the Justice Department says does not exist. Trump has never been accused of wrongdoing during his friendship with Epstein, which ended many years ago.

At one point, Jared Moskowitz (D-Fl.) asked if the FBI would probe the Epstein estate for releasing a letter that, Moskowitz claimed, ties Trump "to the world's largest pedophile ring." Moskowitz noted that Trump has called the letter a phony.

The letter contains the outline of a woman's figure with an imagined dialogue between Trump and Epstein. Trump has said the letter is not his style and he is suing the Wall Street Journal for defamation over its report on the letter.

“Will you open up an investigation into Epstein's estate for putting out a fake document?” Moskowitz asked.

“Sure, I’ll do it,” Patel responded.

Witch hunt

Regardless of its authenticity, the letter does not implicate Trump in any wrongdoing, despite Moskowitz's slippery attempts to make that connection.

While Democrats single out Trump, many people are said to have written letters to Epstein, including Bill Clinton. Is Moskowitz suggesting that they are all criminals?

Democrats have also capitalized on reports that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files, but merely being named does not indicate any wrongdoing.

At one point, Moskowitz pressed Patel to provide names of uncharged individuals connected to Epstein. Patel explained that is not how the law works.

"We are not releasing the names of anyone because the Department of Justice never does that for anyone that didn't have any credible information to attack them," Patel said.

Democrats like Moskowitz aren't interested in justice. They're on another witch hunt, plain and simple.
