U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Department of Justice received “a truckload” of Epstein Files.
On February 26, Bondi claimed during a Fox News interview that she had the files on deceased trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on her desk and would be releasing them soon. After releasing those documents during what many on both sides of the aisle deemed a “publicity stunt,” Bondi admitted that the information she released was already public knowledge.
However, one of the documents in the binder she released was a letter she sent to FBI Director Kash Patel, revealing that the FBI’s office in New York had been hiding Epstein Files from her. She then demanded that the documents be handed over and called for consequences for the FBI agents attempting to stop the American people from seeing the files.
“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. Despite my repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.”
The FBI's NY Field Office said it gave @AGPamBondi all its Jeffrey Epstein Files. It lied to her, says Bondi. That may be because Epstein appears to have been running a sex blackmail operation, or honeytrap, for intelligence agencies. The FBI has used honeytraps for decades… https://t.co/KU5S51tcR1 pic.twitter.com/ld89xFicMN

Now, Bondi has revealed that the New York FBI Office finally handed over the “truckload” of documents.
Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Bondi revealed that her office received the documents soon after she gave the FBI a hard deadline.
“I gave [the FBI] a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything,” the attorney general explained. “And a source had told me where the documents were being kept, Southern District of New York, shock. So, we got them all by Friday at 8 a.m.”
“Thousands of pages of documents,” Bondi added. “I have the FBI going through them…and Director [Kash] Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.”
She went on to describe the documents she received as “a truckload of evidence.”
“And, you know, we’re going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein,” she added.
Bondi also called out the Biden administration for failing to obtain the documents.
“No one did anything with them. And why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report on that,” she said. “You know, sadly, these people don’t believe in transparency. But I think more unfortunately, I think 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. The public has the right to know Americans have a right to know,” Bondi added.
