Kash Patel Ordered Staff To Counter Critics On FBI's Account

The exchange, with an aide named Williamson, surfaced in the FBI's own release of documents reviewing its Epstein investigative files.
- Patel directed FBI personnel to respond publicly to critical posts about the Bureau online.
- The messages name an aide, Williamson, as the point of contact for pushback.
- FBI Vault published the texts itself in Part 06 of its Epstein holdings review.
Why it matters: A police agency that fights its critics online is managing its image, not enforcing the law.
