Trump FBI Director Pick Kash Patel Pledges to Disclose Classified Diddy Files
Kash Patel, Donald Trump's nominee for FBI Director, has publicly committed to releasing both the confidential "Diddy list" and Epstein files if appointed. The announcement came during his appearance on the Benny Johnson podcast, where he emphasized the importance of transparency in federal agencies.
"They are terrified," Patel stated, referring to the potential release of both the Epstein and P. Diddy lists. "The American people deserve the truth."

Patel claims the FBI has "direct control" of the Epstein list and alleges Bill Gates is actively lobbying Congress to prevent its disclosure. The Diddy list has gained particular relevance following recent sex trafficking allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, which led to his arrest in September.
Speaking to The EconoTimes, Patel emphasized, "These documents, particularly those linked to Epstein and Diddy, could shed light on matters the American people deserve to understand."
While Trump has hinted at possibly making the Epstein list public, he hasn't made firm commitments regarding either list. Patel has consistently advocated for their release since last year, before his nomination, stating, "Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are."
The nomination has faced criticism, including from former Attorney General William Barr, who called Patel's potential appointment "dangerous," citing his lack of traditional law enforcement experience and controversial rhetoric.
