New FBI Director Kash Patel vowed for full transparency on Thursday amid criticism of the law enforcement bureau over how it handled turning over files on infamous child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

A letter was sent by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to Patel in which she said that an official told her on Wednesday that she hadn’t received all the Epstein files despite assurances that all of them were sent to her office.
