Attorney General Bondi Demands Full Epstein Case Files from the FBI

On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi reached out to FBI Director Kash Patel, accusing the federal investigators in New York of holding back thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Here's what you need to know:

• Request for Documents: Bondi requested the complete Epstein case file before Patel became FBI Director but received only 200 pages.
• Discrepancy in Document Count: The 200 pages are significantly fewer than what was disclosed in a civil lawsuit involving Ghislaine Maxwell.
• Missing Files: Bondi learned of thousands of undisclosed documents from an anonymous source.
• Deadline Set: She demanded that all documents be delivered by 8:00 a.m. on February 28.
• FBI's Response: While the FBI did not immediately comment, Patel emphasized a commitment to transparency.

Details of the Letters and Statements

Bondi expressed concern over the assurances provided by the FBI, stating:

"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."

She insisted that all related records, including audio and video, must be made available without restrictions:

"There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access."

FBI's Commitment to Transparency

Patel took to X (formerly Twitter) to assure the public that:

"There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned."

The FBI has stated its intention to address any gaps in the investigation and to provide full disclosure to the Department of Justice and the public.

Next Steps

Bondi's office announced that they are still working on releasing a batch of Epstein-related documents, though it may not offer significant new information. Sensitive information about victims will be redacted before any documents are made public.

Internal Investigation

In light of these issues, Bondi has ordered an internal investigation and requested Patel to propose personnel actions within two weeks.
