Pam Bondi Accuses FBI of Withholding Epstein Documents in Urgent Letter

Attorney General Pam Bondi has sent a pointed letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, accusing the federal agency of intentionally withholding thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. This correspondence, which Bondi dispatched on Thursday, reveals her determination to ensure transparency surrounding the notorious case.

In her letter, Bondi outlined her previous request for the full Epstein case files, made prior to Patel’s confirmation as the head of the FBI. While the Attorney General received roughly 200 pages, she observed that this number was significantly less than what was disclosed last year in a civil lawsuit associated with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former lover and convicted accomplice.

Bondi expressed her growing concern over the FBI’s response, 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.” Her claims took a dramatic turn when she learned from a confidential source that the FBI’s Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of additional pages of relevant documents.

Furthermore, Bondi emphasized that the FBI had never disclosed these additional files, insisting that they should be handed over to her by Friday morning. She wrote, “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.” She demanded complete transparency, stating there would be no withholdings or limitations to her access.

The agency did not provide an immediate response to Bondi’s accusations or any requests for comment.

Bondi’s insistence on transparency is part of a larger effort to shed light on the network of individuals associated with Epstein, including those who may have participated in or turned a blind eye to his criminal activities. She vowed to reveal pertinent information that could implicate high-profile figures, as this case continues to captivate public interest.

Implications of the Epstein Documents

Bondi has indicated that sensitive information regarding Epstein’s victims will be redacted prior to any public release of documents. In addition, she ordered an internal investigation into the handling of the case, instructing Patel to devise
