FBI Director Kash Patel thought he got away with protecting Trump's friends.
One Kentucky Congressman just blew his cover.
And Thomas Massie just caught Kash Patel red-handed with one bombshell that could land him in prison.
Massie Exposes The Lie That Could Destroy Patel's Career
Thomas Massie spent Monday morning at the Department of Justice reviewing files the Trump administration tried to keep hidden.
What he discovered makes Kash Patel a liar.
An FBI document from 2019 identifies billionaire Les Wexner as Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator in sex trafficking crimes.
Wexner built the Victoria's Secret empire, made Epstein wealthy, and gave him the Manhattan townhouse where teenage girls were trafficked.
Back in September, FBI Director Patel sat before Congress and swore under oath the bureau had zero evidence Epstein worked with anyone else.
Senator John Kennedy asked point blank who Epstein trafficked victims to.
Patel's answer couldn't have been clearer: "Himself. There is no credible information—none—that he trafficked to other individuals."
Massie posted the smoking gun FBI memo on X showing Wexner listed right alongside Ghislaine Maxwell as Epstein's criminal partners.
Federal law 18 USC 1001 makes lying to Congress a felony punishable by five years in prison.
Patel knew these documents existed when he testified.

The DOJ Got Caught Hiding Names Illegally
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche tried damage control after Massie's bombshell.
Blanche claimed one document had to black out 18 of 20 names because they were all victims requiring protection.
Massie forced the DOJ to release the unredacted version.
Turns out only two names actually needed redaction for victim privacy.
They broke the law censoring the other 16 names.

Wexner's dirty relationship with Epstein goes back to the late 1980s when a financial advisor introduced them.
That advisor warned Wexner immediately: "I smell a rat. I don't trust him."
Wexner hired Epstein anyway and eventually granted him power of attorney over his entire fortune.
By the 1990s, Epstein was using his Wexner connection to prey on young women.
He'd tell girls he was scouting talent for Victoria's Secret to lure them into trafficking situations.
Company executives went to Wexner multiple times warning him Epstein was abusing the Victoria's Secret name to assault women.
Nothing changed.
In 1997, model Alicia Arden filed a police report after Epstein groped her during what he claimed was a Victoria's Secret audition.
Massie Fought Trump For Four Months To Get Here
The Kentucky Congressman didn't luck into this evidence.
He's been at war with the entire Trump administration since September forcing the Epstein files into public view.
Massie filed what's called a discharge petition to bypass House leadership and force a vote on releasing everything.
The White House went nuclear trying to stop him.
Officials warned that signing Massie's petition would be seen as a "very hostile act to the administration."
Trump personally recruited a primary challenger to run against Massie and allied groups dumped $2 million into attack ads.
Republicans Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene defied Trump and signed anyway.
Greene later revealed Trump explicitly told her voting to release the files would hurt "friends of the president."
The House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act 427-1 on November 18, 2025.
Trump finally signed it when he realized the momentum was unstoppable.
The law forced DOJ to give Congress access to unredacted files starting Monday.
That's when Massie caught them red-handed protecting Wexner.
Why Les Wexner Got Special Treatment
Wexner wasn't some random Epstein acquaintance.
In 1991, Wexner made Epstein a trustee of his family foundation and gave him total control over his finances.
For decades, Epstein drained hundreds of millions from Wexner while building his sex trafficking empire.
After Epstein died in custody in 2019, Wexner suddenly claimed Epstein had stolen from him.
Convenient timing when the dead man can't respond.
Wexner's name shows up over 1,000 times throughout the Epstein files.
But Trump's DOJ illegally hid his co-conspirator designation until Massie exposed it Monday night.
Massie also uncovered that Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem emailed Epstein in 2009 writing "I loved the torture video."
DOJ had censored Bin Sulayem's name claiming privacy protections.
Deputy AG Blanche's explanation actually confirmed Bin Sulayem sent the email about torture.
That businessman appears in 336 different Epstein documents spanning years of communications with the trafficker.
Criminal Charges Are Coming For Patel
Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert emerged from viewing the unredacted files Monday looking furious.
She's been one of Trump's most loyal allies but couldn't hide her disgust.
"I think that there are folks who are definitely implicated and co-conspirators," Boebert stated. "I don't think everyone there that was talking about underage girls being trafficked are victims."
The evidence puts Patel in immediate legal danger.
He told Congress under oath the FBI had no information about other traffickers.
FBI memos from July 2019 reference "10 co-conspirators" agents needed to interview and subpoena.
An August 2019 document lists eight co-conspirators by name including Wexner.
Patel saw these files before his September testimony.
Former prosecutors say this is an open-and-shut perjury case.
Representative Melanie Stansbury publicly accused Patel of "perjury, contempt of Congress, and lying to the public."
Attorney General Pam Bondi faces potential impeachment for authorizing the illegal redactions that violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Massie spent four months fighting Trump, Bondi, Patel, and House leadership to get to this moment.
Now the FBI Director who protected pedophiles to shield the President's friends could be heading to prison.
