A “truckload” of documents related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been handed over to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi by the FBI, she announced Monday night. Just four days after the DOJ released its own batch of previously undisclosed government documents on Epstein, Bondi revealed that what was initially believed to be the final pieces of the investigation was merely the tip of the iceberg.
“The FBI handed over a couple hundred pages of documents,” the AG told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, adding she “gave them a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything.” Bondi previously revealed that a source had informed her that the newly uncovered documents had been in the possession of the Southern District of New York. She also noted that the acting chief prosecutor for the district recently resigned rather than comply with pressure to drop corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
“Now that we have Kash [Patel] here, it’s a game changer,” Bondi said about the newly minted FBI director. “Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.” Asked by Hannity what she believes may be in the latest batch of documents, Bondi said her team is “working as fast as they can” to read and catalogue upwards of thousands of pages, “but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein, because there are a lot of victims.”
“We believe in transparency, and America has the right to know,” Bondi went on. “The Biden administration sat on these documents, no one did anything with them, and why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report. Sadly these people don’t believe in transparency, but I think more, a lot of them, don’t believe in honesty, and it’s a new day. It’s a new administration, and everything’s going to come out to the public.”
Speaking on Fox’s Mark Levin Show over the weekend, Bondi explained that while her office has already released 120 pages of documents, she uncovered that SDNY is still in possession of thousands more that remain undisclosed. “I started asking for these documents right when I came into office,” Bondi told Levin.
“I think the American people are very curious about who’s on this list or these lists. You’ve been doggedly trying to get all the information. And now we learn, thanks to you, that you have been stonewalled by people in New York. You want to explain that?” Levin noted to begin the segment.
“So, as you know, we released about 120 pages of documents. And I started asking for these documents right when I came into office, before Kash Patel was in there. So, I ended up getting about 120 pages,” Bondi responded. “We carefully redacted them, of course, to be sure the 254 young girls, women who were victims of sex crimes and sex trafficking, their personal information was redacted and out of there to protect them.”
