Dani Bensky, who’s said she was a victim of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2004 and 2005, is calling out Kash Patel for “partying like a college kid” instead of investigating Epstein’s “vast criminal enterprise.”

After the FBI director, 46, was pictured drinking a beer and celebrating alongside the U.S. men’s hockey team following their win over Canada at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Bensky shared her opinion that “this administration needs to do better” in a Feb. 24 news conference hosted by the Democratic Women’s Caucus.

“Why is the FBI director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?” she asked. “This administration needs to do better. How can anybody feel safe in this country when our president’s sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and not to survivors?”

President Donald Trump called the arrest of former Prince Andrew a “very sad thing” after he was taken into police custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Feb. 19.

“There are a few things that really need to be done immediately versus the release of all of the files, which we know,” Bensky continued. “Next is to hold accountable those who continuously exploit. And the third is to pass Virginia’s bill. We need to pass Virginia’s bill because justice should never ever expire. Release the damn files.”

The “Virginia’s Law” bill — named in honor of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025 — was introduced by congressional Democrats in February to end the statute of limitations for civil sexual abuse cases.

Following the Team USA victory, which marked the men’s hockey team’s first Olympic gold since 1980, videos of Patel partying with the athletes in their locker room while chugging a beer and singing along to Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” made their rounds on social media.

He also shared a few photos of his experience attending the Olympic Games to his own social media accounts.

“Unity, Sacrifice, Attitude- what it takes to be the best in the world,” Patel wrote on X that same day. “These men live and breathe it. Now Team USA are gold medal champions, legends standing on the shoulders of giants.  Thank you for representing the greatest country on earth, in the greatest game ever created.”

After quickly receiving backlash for using a government aircraft to drink with Olympic athletes in Italy, Patel penned a message to the “very concerned media” a few hours later.

“Yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys,” he wrote. “Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.”

“That name should be dead… so why is Blackridge standing in my unit?” They mocked the new girl — until they saw the DEVGRU trident on her arm… and realized she wasn’t there to fit in. She was there to expose a betrayal that could trigger a nuclear trap.  The forward base near the Belarus border wasn’t built for drama. It was steel walls, mud-soaked boots, and radios hissing through cold dawns. Task Unit Seven didn’t get surprises.  Until she stepped off the transport.  Small. Controlled. Eyes that scanned exits before faces.  “Name,” Captain Owen Strickland demanded after reading the transfer sheet twice.  “Petty Officer Talia Blackridge, sir.”  The room shifted.  Thirty-six years earlier, a Blackridge had dragged Strickland out of a kill zone. Three years ago, that same man was declared KIA. Flag folded. Funeral attended. File closed.
“Say your name,” Captain Owen Strickland ordered.  “Petty Officer Talia Blackridge, sir.”  The room shifted.  Strickland had buried a Blackridge once. A man who pulled him out of a kill zone and was declared KIA years later. Memorial attended. Flag folded. Case closed.  Except now his last name was standing in front of him. Alive. Young. Impossible.  The team didn’t buy it. They mocked her. Tested her. Threw her into a 12-hour armory breakdown meant to break anyone.  She finished it flawlessly.  And when her sleeve shifted, they saw it.  The trident.  DEVGRU.  SEAL Team Six.  Silence swallowed the room.  Strickland stepped closer — and that’s when she said it.  “I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to find out who betrayed my father.”
I begged my landlord for mercy… and accidentally sent the message to a billionaire CEO. The next reply changed my life — and took me to Dubai as his “fiancée.”  I hadn’t eaten in two days.  My rent was overdue. My cupboard was empty. Even the salt was gone. So I did what pride-hungry people eventually do — I typed a desperate message.  Please don’t throw me out. I’m still job hunting. I promise I’ll pay. God will bless you.  I hit send.  Then I looked at the number.  It wasn’t my landlord.  It was a stranger.  I almost died of shame.  Across the city, Damalair Adabio — billionaire, CEO, allergic to nonsense — stepped out of his marble bathroom and opened my message.
She texted her landlord begging not to be thrown out… and accidentally sent it to a billionaire CEO instead. Minutes later, he offered her $7 MILLION to be his fake fiancée on a Dubai trip — and what happened that night changed everything.  Ouchi hadn’t eaten since yesterday. She stood barefoot in her tiny one-room apartment, holding an empty pot like proof that life had officially humbled her. No rice. No beans. No noodles. Even the salt had “relocated.”  Then her landlord called.  Final warning. Pay this week — or get out.  Desperate, fighting tears, she typed a long message begging for more time. She poured in everything — her degree, her job search, her faith, her pride.  She hit send.  And froze.  Wrong number.  Not her landlord.  A complete stranger.  She had just begged someone she didn’t know for mercy.  Across the city, billionaire CEO Damalair Adabio stepped out of a marble bathroom into a home that screamed wealth. Betrayed by his PA. Pressured by investors. Invited to a high-stakes Dubai business summit where every powerful man would show up with a stunning partner on his arm.  His phone buzzed.  He read her message once.  Then again.  It wasn’t manipulation. It wasn’t a scam pitch.  It was raw. Embarrassingly real.  “Wrong number,” he muttered… then paused. “Or maybe perfect timing.”
The avalanche hit without warning — white, violent, unstoppable. When it settled, rifles were missing. Packs were gone. And Claire was nowhere to be found.  They dug.  They found scraps of her gear.  Then their team leader made the call no one wants to make: “She’s dead. We move.”  They pulled out with wounded men and a storm closing in — leaving their medic behind.  But Claire wasn’t dead.  She woke up buried in ice, shoulder shattered, air running out. No radio. No weapon. Just darkness and pressure and the memory of one rule from survival school: panic kills faster than cold.  She dug with numb hands until she broke through into a full Arctic storm.  And that’s when she heard it.  Gunfire.  Her Rangers were still out there — taking contact, without their medic.  What she did next is the part they don’t put in the official report.  Because hours later, through the whiteout, a single figure emerged from the storm…  Carrying four Rangers.
“She’s dead.” They left the SEAL sniper under ten feet of Alaskan snow and moved on with the mission… Hours later, in the middle of a whiteout, she walked back into the fight — carrying four Rangers on her shoulders.  November 2018. A Ranger platoon out of Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson lifted into the Brooks Range for a hostage rescue that had to be finished before a blizzard locked the mountains down for days.  Attached to them? A Navy medic — Hospital Corpsman First Class Claire Maddox.  Quiet. Compact. Instantly underestimated.  Some Rangers glanced at her PT scores and made up their minds. The team leader, Staff Sergeant Tyler Kane, kept it professional but distant. “Stay close. Don’t slow us down.”  Claire didn’t argue. She checked radios. Tourniquets. Chest seals. IV warmers. Cold-weather meds. She studied wind angles and ridgelines the way other people read street signs.  Insertion was clean.  The mountain wasn’t.  They moved across a knife-edge locals called Devil’s Spine when visibility collapsed into gray static. Then came the sound no one forgets — a deep, hollow crack above them.
Naval Station Norfolk was silent except for the click of metal around Lieutenant Kara Wynn’s wrists.  The charge? Abandoning her overwatch position during an operation near Kandahar. Prosecutors claimed she “froze.” That because she didn’t fire, three Marines died.  The headlines were already brutal: Female SEAL cracks under pressure.  In dress whites, Kara didn’t flinch when they called her a coward. Didn’t react when they hinted her record was exaggerated. She just sat there, posture perfect, as the bailiff locked the cuffs.  “Standard procedure,” the judge said.  The prosecutor smirked.  Then the courtroom doors opened.  Not a clerk. Not a late observer.  A four-star admiral.
