Key Developments
Attorney General Pam Bondi has accused the FBI of withholding thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, demanding their immediate release.
According to a letter obtained by officials, Bondi has ordered FBI Director Kash Patel to deliver the full Epstein case files to her office by 8:00 AM on Friday, February 28th. She has also launched an internal investigation into why these documents were allegedly concealed.
Bondi’s Letter to the FBI
In her letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi stated that:
- She had previously requested the full and complete Epstein files before Patel took office.
- In response, she received only 200 pages, which included flight logs, Epstein’s contact list, and victim names.
- She was repeatedly assured by the FBI that this was the entire case file.
- However, a source revealed yesterday that the FBI’s New York field office was in possession of thousands of additional pages related to Epstein’s investigation and indictment.
- Patel himself was reportedly unaware of these additional files until Bondi brought it to his attention.
Bondi’s Orders to the FBI
By Friday morning, the FBI must provide:
✅ All records, documents, audio, and video evidence related to Epstein.
✅ Full transparency with no withholdings (except for protecting victim identities).
✅ An immediate internal investigation into why the files were withheld.
✅ A comprehensive report within 14 days, detailing who was responsible and potential personnel actions.
Reactions from Lawmakers
Several members of Congress reacted to the news on social media:
🗣 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “The Epstein list is going to be released, and much more is coming. There is a war within the system, but the truth will be revealed.”
Bondi and Patel were praised as “warriors” fighting for government transparency.
