Attorney General Pam Bondi has made a stunning allegation, accusing the FBI’s New York field office of withholding crucial documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi called for immediate compliance and an internal investigation into the bureau’s handling of the case.
This comes after previous reports suggesting the FBI may have been secretly destroying Epstein-related documents, raising concerns about potential government corruption and obstruction of justice. In a harshly worded letter sent Thursday, Bondi disclosed that her office had received only a small portion of the requested documents concerning Epstein’s widespread criminal activities.
“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” Bondi wrote. “Late yesterday, I learned from a source 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.”
“When you and I spoke yesterday, you were just as surprised as I was to learn this new information,” Bondi wrote to Patel. She then issued a direct order: “By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients.”
Bondi also called for an immediate internal investigation to determine why the FBI had failed to comply with her previous order while demanding a report on the matter within 14 days. “I appreciate your immediate attention to this important matter. I know that we are both committed to transparency for the American people, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to serve our President and our country,” Bondi concluded.

The financier, accused of orchestrating an elite sex-trafficking ring involving underage girls, had well-documented ties to influential political and business figures. His mysterious death in a Manhattan prison cell in 2019, officially ruled a suicide, only heightened suspicions that key individuals in his operation may have been protected from exposure.
President Donald Trump has been a strong advocate for full transparency regarding Epstein’s network. He signed an executive order allowing the declassification of Epstein-related files, as well as documents concerning the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., the origins of COVID-19, and classified 9/11 intelligence.
