“[The FBI] missed things. There’s opportunities there, just from like, I understand, hearing and listening.”

“It’s [FBI] a s**t show.”

“You can see where law enforcement kinda either turned a blind eye… or missed things [on Jeffrey Epstein],” said Rami Hassan, a Deputy Senior National Intelligence Officer at the FBI, in an audio recording submitted to O’Keefe Media Group (OMG). “There’s opportunities there… just from, like, I understand, hearing and listening,” Hassan added, acknowledging that law enforcement may have failed to properly investigate Jeffrey Epstein.

Hassan’s comments come as Attorney General Pam Bondi faces growing scrutiny over claims she made regarding the existence of unreleased Epstein evidence. In a private conversation leaked by OMG, Bondi stated that the government had obtained “tens of thousands” of Epstein-related videos.

Those statements now appear to directly contradict a joint memorandum released by the Department of Justice and FBI, which asserts that no “Epstein client list” exists, and that all available investigative material is already accounted for. The memo also reaffirmed the FBI’s official position that Epstein “died by suicide,” and that no further criminal proceedings are expected.

When asked whether he believed Epstein had been murdered, Hassan responded, “I think he just killed himself… I mean, even the FBI came out and said he killed himself.”

During the same conversation, Hassan spoke about how government officials allowed influencers and internet personalities to distribute Epstein-related files. Hassan called the situation “messy,” echoing concerns that the process lacked clarity and professionalism.
