Donald Trump‘s Attorney General Pam Bondi has exploded at the FBI for hiding thousands of documents about serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that could expose his famous clients.
Bondi had promised to release on Thursday files about Epstein that would make people ‘sick’ and include a ‘lot of names’ connected to him.
However, she revealed many records were not given to her by agents and she had been tipped off they were being kept at an FBI field office in New York.
In a blistering letter to the head of the FBI, Kash Patel, Bondi wrote: ‘I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.
‘Despite my repeated requests the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.’

Bondi’s first tranche of papers on Epstein‘s pedophilic sex trafficking ring were released on Thursday – and Republicans are not happy.
Rather than publishing the documents directly to the American people, they were given to a group of conservative influencers who visited the White House.
And those eager for evidence to connect Epstein to prominent political figures and business leaders were disappointed to find barely any new information was included in ‘phase one’ of the release.
Bondi said the materials she was given by the FBI amounted to about 200 pages.
That included ‘primarily flight logs’ for Epstein’s private jet, along with ‘Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.’
Much of the information contained was previously released publicly.
The Attorney General accused Patel’s agency of hiding thousands of documents related to the investigation and demanded the rest be turned over by 8AM on Friday.
She wrote: ‘By 8am tomorrow 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. There will be no withholdings or limitaions to my or your access.’
Bondi revealed in the letter that Patel was ‘just as surprised’ as she was to learn about the trove of undisclosed information.
She directed Patel to launch an investigation into why her order to hand over files had not been followed, and to report to her on that in 14 days.
Meanwhile, some pro-Trump lawmakers complained abut the files Bondi did release.
A binder titled ‘The Epstein Files: Phase 1’ was distributed to a group of media personalities at the White House.
MAGA congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who is leading the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, was furious that her panel was not able to review the files.
And she criticized the contents, saying it amounted to ‘Epstein’s phonebook’.
Luna wrote on X: ‘I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today.
‘THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment.
‘GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!’

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna demanded more Epstein documents be released
The ‘phase 1’ name on the binder suggests the Justice Department will be publishing more documents related to the case in coming weeks, which many hope will satisfy their desire to out those involved in any conspiracy and cover-up.
While Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August 2019, public controversy has gathered steam over the secretive nature of the government findings regarding his illegal activity and his stunning client list.
Conspiracy theories swirled claiming the government was protecting other high profile Americans and politicians who were caught up with Epstein.
The first release comes as Republican lawmakers press the Justice Department to increase transparency and publish previously classified records and federal secrets.
The documents landed on Bondi’s desk earlier this week.
She told Fox News on Wednesday night that there are 250 alleged victims that the DOJ needed to ensure would be protected before releasing the files.
‘What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,’ Bondi said when asked about what is contained in the files.
She added: ‘But, it’s pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant.’
Real America’s Voice host Jack Posobiec, political commentator Rogan O’Handley – also known as DC Draino, content creator Chaya Raichik and few other online conservative voices were handed the document at the White House on Thursday.
They were pictured emerging from the Oval Office and holding up the binders.

Financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August 2019. But the secretive nature of the government findings regarding his illegal activity and stunning client list exacerbate conspiracies that the government was protecting high profile Americans and politicians who were caught up with Epstein
Co-conspirators and anyone who participated in Epstein’s ring or flew on his so-called Lolita Express private jet to his Caribbean island have remained protected through the sealing of investigative documents.
On Thursday, Counselor to the President Alina Habba said there will ‘absolutely’ be new criminal charges brought against individuals revealed to be involved in the scandal.

President Trump signed an executive order last month calling on agencies to create plans to release and distribute top-secret documents on Epstein as well as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
On Wednesday, Luna said she heard back from the DOJ on a slew of files.
‘My office just received a formal response from the DOJ on the Jeffrey Epstein, JFK, MLK, & RFK files,’ wrote the leader of the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.
Luna also sent letters to Bondi, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and White House Counsel David Warrington giving a Thursday deadline requesting a briefing on plans for release of the documents.
Sentiment was widely shared online that Epstein’s death was made to look like a suicide, but was actually a murder meant to prevent him from revealing his client list or co-conspirators in the pedophilic sex trafficking conspiracy.
Epstein’s death was ruled by the medical examiner as a suicide by hanging.
But lawyers for Epstein have disputed the ruling as public skepticism over his death grew in recent years, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories.

The private island in the Virgin Islands was called Little Saint James but became nicknamed Epstein Island. It is situated southeast of Saint Thomas and was owned by the infamous financier from 1998 until his death in 2019
The possibility of pursuing criminal charges died along with Epstein, so a judge dismissed the case on August 29, 2019 – less than three weeks after he was found hanging in his jail cell.
British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell had a decades-long association with Epstein and was convicted in 2021 on federal charges for sex trafficking after she recruited young girls for the pedophilic ring, as well as child sex abuse and prostitution
Her procurement for Epstein included bringing into the folds of the conspiracy a 14-year-old girl.
Epstein had a private jet that he logged 600 flying hours on each year, usually with guests on board as part of the manifest.
The Boeing 727 was nicknamed the Lolita Express by locals in the Virgin Islands because of its frequent arrivals allegedly with young girls on board.
Epstein’s private island called Little Saint James is in the United States Virgin Islands, southeast of Saint Thomas. He owned it from 1998 until his death in 2019.
