Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, has made an urgent demand for all the missing Epstein files after the FBI’s first release of documents left many disappointed.
Despite the high expectations surrounding the file release, which was widely criticized for failing to uncover new, critical details, Bondi was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
FBI Under Fire for Withholding Epstein Files
Last week, Bondi was furious when the Epstein File release, which many hoped would shed light on the financier’s criminal activities, turned out to be a letdown.
Sources close to Bondi revealed that the FBI had thousands more pages of files related to Epstein’s heinous crimes, which they had not released.
As a result, she issued a stern order to the FBI, demanding that they deliver everything they had by 8 a.m. on Friday.
A Truckload of Documents Arrives from the FBI
By the set deadline, the FBI, now led by Kash Patel, provided a massive collection of documents that Bondi referred to as a “truckload of evidence.”
On Fox News, Bondi shared how she had been told the documents were being stored in the Southern District of New York.
Upon receiving the files, Bondi expressed satisfaction with Patel’s team, who were now sifting through the thousands of pages.
Patel is also tasked with compiling a detailed report explaining why the FBI had initially withheld these files.
Bondi, while focused on quickly reviewing the documents, emphasized that the safety of Epstein’s victims would remain a top priority throughout the process.
Bondi Calls for an Investigation into the FBI’s Actions
After alleging that the FBI failed to comply with her request, Bondi instructed Patel to launch an immediate investigation into his department’s conduct.
She demanded that a comprehensive report detailing the reasons for the FBI’s non-compliance and any proposed personnel actions be delivered within 14 days.
In response to these allegations, Patel reaffirmed his commitment to integrity and accountability within the FBI.
He vowed that the new era under his leadership would ensure full transparency, with no documents hidden or missing.
Patel also promised that any records that had been concealed would be uncovered and fully assessed before being made available to the public.
Bondi Criticizes the Biden Administration and FBI’s Lack of Transparency
Bondi didn’t hold back in criticizing the Biden administration for its failure to release the full Epstein files.
She pointed out that the files had been sitting in the Southern District of New York for years without any meaningful action being taken.
Bondi expressed her frustration, stating that those in charge seemed to have little interest in transparency and honesty, but vowed that under her leadership, everything would eventually be made public for the American people to see.
Redacted Files Raise Further Questions about Epstein’s Network
The newly released files included a fully redacted list of masseuses employed by Epstein, with all their names obscured.
However, the documents did confirm that Epstein had employed 254 masseuses over the years.
Many of these women were young and inexperienced, often recruited under false pretenses and instructed to bring friends.
Bondi clarified that the redactions were made to protect the potential victims’ identities, though it raised concerns about the scope of Epstein’s operations and the victims involved.
Flight Logs and Address Book Raise New Concerns About Epstein’s Network
Other documents released by Bondi included flight logs from Epstein’s infamous private jet and a redacted copy of an address book compiled by Epstein and his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
These files further highlight the extent of Epstein’s web of connections and raise even more questions about the powerful individuals who were involved with him.
Through this ongoing investigation, Bondi has made it clear that she is determined to uncover the truth, no matter who is implicated in Epstein’s dark network.
The public, she believes, has the right to know the full extent of the crimes committed and those who may have enabled them.
