THE first batch of the Jeffrey Epstein files have been released by the US Attorney general after she said the contents “will make you sick”.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi released the docs but accused the FBI of “hiding thousands more pages.”
The much-anticipated docs have been released but did not include any new detail – their contents had been circulating for years.
They didn’t include any new bombshells about the sex trafficking case.
A scathing letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel had given a new deadline of 8 am on February 28.
The documents were expected to drop after a group of people were seen at the White House holding four white binders titled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1.”
But in a letter posted on X by a conservative influencer on Thursday afternoon revealed the delay.
Bondi “repeatedly questioned” the full set of documents and whether there may be others in existence, she wrote in the letter.
“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. When you and I spoke yesterday, you were just as surprised as I was to learn this new information,” Bondi wrote to Patel.
Along with requesting all Epstein files, Bondi also ordered an investigation into the FBI’s handling of the documents.
Epstein, 66, was a wealthy financier who socialized with celebrities, royalty, and other high-profile individuals before his arrest in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges in New York City.
Details about Epstein’s associates who visited his private island in the US Virgin Islands and flew on his private jet have been a pressing topic since his arrest and death.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have urged the Department of Justice to unseal any remaining documents related to Epstein’s federal sex trafficking case.
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News the documents would be released on Thursday after work to protect the names of “more than 250 victims” was complete.
Bondi teased that “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, and a lot of information” will be revealed in the trove of documents.
“It’s pretty sick what that man did… along with his co-defendants,” Bondi said.
