A “truckload” of documents related to notorious late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been handed over to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi by the FBI, she announced Monday night.
Four days after the DOJ released its own set of formerly unreleased government documents related to Epstein, Bondi said she’s come to learn that what they believed to be the remainder of the Epstein investigation was just the tip of the iceberg.
“The FBI handed over a couple hundred pages of documents,” the prosecutor told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, adding she “gave them a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything.”
Bondi explained how a source had informed her that the newly discovered documents were being kept in the possession of the Southern District of New York, where the acting attorney general recently resigned rather than participate in dropping corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
Epstein died by hanging in 2019 while being held in solitary confinement following his arrest on charges of sex trafficking of minors. For over five years, conspiracy theories have blazed about the Democratic donor’s death and whether major party figures somehow contributed to murdering him. No direct evidence to support the theory has ever surfaced, and in 2023, the Justice Department inspector general concluded Epstein died by suicide.
However, last year, his brother Mark came forward alleging a cover-up by the government.
To be sure, the withholding of documents by the FBI — even after President Donald Trump had explicitly ordered the release of everything about Epstein in the government’s possession — casts a pall over the disclosure.
“Now that we have Kash [Patel] here, it’s a game changer,” Bondi said about the newly minted FBI director. “Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.”
WATCH:
A previous cache of Epstein documents was released in 2023, including flight logs for his private jet showing some of the world’s most rich and powerful people traveling alongside the philanthropist. Among them were Bill Gates, former President Bill Clinton, the late Stephen Hawking, and Prince Williams, all of whom traveled to his compound in the Virgin Islands, the site of heinous sexual acts against minor girls.
Asked by Hannity what she believes may be in the latest batch of documents, Bondi said her team is “working as fast as they can” to read and catalogue upwards of thousands of pages, “but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein, because there are a lot of victims.”
“We believe in transparency, and America has the right to know,” Bondi went on. “The Biden administration sat on these documents, no one did anything with them, and why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report. Sadly these people don’t believe in transparency, but I think more, a lot of them, don’t believe in honesty, and it’s a new day. It’s a new administration, and everything’s going to come out to the public.”
