(WND)—The top two officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation appeared on national television Sunday to clarify numerous mysteries, including the FBI’s role in the U.S. Capitol mayhem on Jan. 6, 2021, the two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and the purported suicide of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, FBI Director Kash Patel said about Jan. 6: “What was the FBI doing? Well we’ve got answers coming. We just found a trove of information and it’s on its way to Capitol Hill right now. And they’ve asked, and they’re getting them. And you’re getting the answers on Jan. 6.
“You’re getting answers on what sourcing was utilized, what money was utilized, how many assets were utilized, who made those decisions. You’re getting it.”
“We can only control the FBI, but you’re getting it from the FBI,” he added.
Bartiromo asked Patel point blank: “Were there FBI agents undercover egging people on?”
“That answer is coming and it’s on its way to Congress,” he replied.
Dan Bongino, deputy director of the FBI, said he personally “saw the portfolio of information.”
“We dug far and wide to find it. And I’m pretty sure now we have a conclusive, definitive answer, but you and the public are gonna have it. You’re gonna see it in writing over to Capitol Hill.”
“There is a difference between an agent,” Bongino cautioned, “meaning a trained GS-1811 federal agent, and a source or an asset. There’s a difference. So when you see the material, which I promise you is coming, when you see it, I just want you to understand that.
“There a difference between agents and assets, and I just hope when people put that information out there, they make the distinction. … There’s a distinction there.”
Patel said: “I want the American public to go back and look at what our predecessors stated to Congress under oath: that there were no FBI sources utilized in and around Jan. 6. I’m gonna leave it at that, but go play the videotape and look for this material coming to Congress.”
He added: “Every employee that acted appropriately, we’re gonna defend you to the hill.”

Regarding the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bartiromo asked both officials why many Americans don’t buy the government assertion that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail.
“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel said, “but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was.”
Bongino said: “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself.”

Regarding the two attempts on Trump’s life, Patel cited two reasons for the lack of specific details released.
“Two open, ongoing prosecutions,” he said. ‘Two of the investigations are obviously closed because the individuals are dead, but there’s two live prosecutions … so we can’t get ahead of the federal court case.”
“We have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike.”
NEW: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino break their silence on why we still don’t have answers about the Trump assassination attempts.
It’s the question nobody in the media wants to ask—but millions of Americans are still wondering:
Why don’t we know more about the attempts on… pic.twitter.com/EtjKGsBIw1

“Kash is not kidding,” said Bongino. “We’ve been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case.”
He said he’s aware many feel the federal government is hiding something about the assassination attempts.
“I’m not going to tell people what they want to hear. I’m going to tell you the truth, and whether you like it or not is up to you,” Bongino explained.
“In some of these cases, the ‘there’ you’re looking for is not there. And I know people, I get it, I understand. It’s not there. If it was there, we would have told you.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
