After Attorney General Pam Bondi’s first round of Epstein file releases turned out to be years-old publicly available files, attention turned to the NY FBI office, where the head was forced to resign. Allegedly, he was preventing the files from being released. Bondi now claims she has a truckload of files to go through and release.

The FBI is withholding “thousands of pages of documents” pertaining to the federal government’s investigation into deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
In a Thursday letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi said she initially “requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein” before Patel was sworn into office last Friday. In response, the agency reportedly forfeited “approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.”
The attorney general noted how she “repeatedly questioned” the FBI about whether the batch “was the full set of documents responsive” to her inquiry, and subsequently claimed she was “repeatedly assured” by the agency the returned records were the “full set of documents.”
According to Bondi, however, the FBI wasn’t being truthful.
The Trump-appointee contended that a source informed her that the FBI field office in New York “was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein,” and that, “[d]espite [her] repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.”
