Attorney General Pam Bondi confronts the FBI over withheld documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking investigation.
According to the New York Post, Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a stern ultimatum demanding the FBI release thousands of pages of withheld documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein by Friday morning.
The revelation came after a tipster from the FBI's New York office informed Bondi that only approximately 200 pages of documents had been released, while thousands remained secret. The initial release included flight logs, phone numbers, and victims' names, but the source indicated this represented only a fraction of the complete files.
Rep. Andy Ogles has taken legislative steps to protect the integrity of the Epstein investigation records. The Tennessee Republican is drafting the Preventing Epstein Documentation Obliteration Act, known as the PEDO Act, following concerns about potential document destruction within the FBI.
Former FBI special agent Garret O'Boyle's recent allegations have intensified the urgency of preserving these documents. During an interview on Benny Johnson's podcast, O'Boyle suggested that FBI personnel might be working to destroy files on internal servers, potentially including Epstein-related materials.
The Justice Department's commitment to transparency faces a crucial test with the planned release of 100 pages from Epstein's personal address book. This development marks what officials are calling "Phase 1" of the files release.
Tennessee lawmakers have emerged as leading voices demanding complete transparency in the Epstein investigation. Senator Marsha Blackburn has publicly criticized the Democratic obstruction of her efforts to expose the full scope of Epstein's trafficking network.
FBI Director Kash Patel's confirmation hearing included a significant commitment to Senator Blackburn. He pledged to employ all available resources to reveal the complete extent of Epstein's child sex trafficking operations.
Bondi delivered her uncompromising message to Patel through an official letter, stating:
By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained.
Rep. Ogles has connected the Epstein document situation to previous high-profile investigations. He specifically referenced investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.
The congressman argues that past failures to maintain transparency have eroded public trust. This history of withholding information has contributed to the proliferation of alternative theories about significant historical events.
Conservative influencers recently visited the White House to review the initial release of Epstein files. The meeting concluded with these individuals displaying binders of information to the press, though specific details were not immediately shared.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has demanded the FBI's New York office release thousands of pages of withheld Jeffrey Epstein investigation documents by February 28. The demand follows a tipster's revelation that only a small portion of the available documents had been released, despite containing crucial information about flight logs, phone numbers, and victims' identities. Congressional representatives have responded by drafting legislation to prevent document destruction, while FBI Director Kash Patel has committed to full transparency in revealing the extent of Epstein's trafficking network.
