BREAKING UPDATE: Pam Bondi says Epstein files release hindered by NY FBI office that concealed thousands of documents

Bondi said in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that she learned on Wednesday that the documents she wanted had not been delivered by the New York office of the FBI, despite their having told her that she had the complete file

The first release proved to be a "disappointment" to those who are interested to know exactly who partook of Epstein's scandalous, criminal services. Epstein was on trial for sex trafficking at the time of his death and is widely known to have catered to the sexual tastes of statesmen and celebrities alike by pimping out young girls.

Speaking to Piers Morgan, White House counselor Alina Habba said that the files were "incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, information, names that will come out." She also indicated that arrests would be forthcoming. The contacts that were in the binders have not yet been revealed. Fox News' Bill Melugin reported that the DOJ will post the contents of the binder online at some point on Thursday, but that "what's going to be released as already 'largely been seen in public domain prior to today.'"

Human Events Daily's Jack Posobiec is among those who got a first glimpse at the binder. On his show, he spoke about the binder, saying that this was "Phase 1" and that he intended to go through the information and share it with viewers. "There's going to be new stuff, there's going to be old stuff," he said, noting that this would be "full transparency."

Mike Cernovich, who was also at the meeting with Bondi, said that the Southern District of New York the FBI "held back the real information and AG Bondi directed Kash PAtel to starting kicking a**. AG Bondi handed what she had," he said. "There was nothing martial."

On his show, Posobiec confirmed that this was the case.

The letter from Bondi was addressed to Patel and said that she had, prior to his confirmation to that position, "requested the full and complete files related to JEffrey Epstein." She received 200 pages of flight logs, contcts, and victims names and phone numbers. She told Patel that she "repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to her request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents."

She then revealed that on Wednesday, she "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" and that the existence of these files was not disclosed to her nor were they delivered. She demanded that Patel ensure the delivery of all of these documents to her office by Friday morning, "including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to JEffrey Epstein and his clients, regardness of how such information was obtained."

Internet personalities and pundits Chaya Raichik, Liz Wheeler, Scott Presler and DC Draino all received copies of the report. Many pundits have been clamoring for the release of the files to see who was involved with Epstein's nefarious undertakings. Libs of TikTok later released a full scan of what was in the binder.

There was no client list in this first binder, though more materials are expected to be released. Epstein died in prison in 2019 and his colleague and consort Ghislaine Maxwell is still serving a prison term for her part in their scheme.

Rep Anna Paulina Luna blasted the White House for the lackluster document release, saying "I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today… A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phonebook. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR instead of leaking old info to press."

Attorneys with the Department of Justice have said that flight logs, names and other details will be revealed. Many high profile people have been linked to Epstein in one way or another, including Bill Clinton, Bill Gates who has since said that he regrets ever associating with Epstein, Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, George Stephanopolous, and many others.

"This will make you sick," Bondi said when discussing the informaiton with Jesse Watters, noting the sheer number of victims involved. "200 victims. 200. So we have well over—250, actually. So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information. Maxwell also had a "littl black book" of names that was sealed by the judge in her case.

Lawmakers Anna Paulina Luna and Marsha Blackburn have advocated for the release of these documents, as have many others. The Thursday release was delayed initially as Bondi said that there were over 200 victims whose names and identities needed to be protected.
