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.”
