The long wait for the Jeffrey Epstein files from the federal government is nearly over.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that her office could release significant information “tomorrow” (Thursday) about the billionaire who died in jail amid allegations of sex trafficking.
The Donald Trump appointee promises “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information” about the activities that expect to ensnare and implicate some of the most powerful and prominent people in the United States.
Bondi told Fox News’ Jesse Watters that Epstein victimized “over 250” people.
With that in mind, a significant challenge ahead of releasing details was redacting materials to “make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information.”
Epstein ultimately pleaded guilty in 2008 to charges of soliciting and trafficking underage girls, serving just 13 months on work release in a private wing of a Palm Beach jail.
New reporting on Epstein’s case in 2018 helped authorities reopen it.
Epstein died of an apparent suicide in his jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019. His accomplice and sometimes girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite, was later charged and convicted of sex trafficking in 2020.
The state of Florida unsealed records from his 2008 state investigation and case against Epstein.
The transcripts have long been shielded from public perusal due to state limitations on exposing grand jury evidence. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation in February that created a narrow exemption to those limits to unseal Epstein’s records on July 1.
The transcripts can be viewed here.

Can’t wait to read the names of bigshots, regardless of political party. ALL the names, Pamela Jo!

If Pam releases a name and insinuates improper conduct ….. she better have hard evidence that can stand up in court.

Can I just ask why? This is the top priority for the US Attorney General right now? Sounds more like a case for Geraldo Rivera to uncover what’s in the vault or a few salacious headlines for a Rupert Murdoch publication.. unless of course either of them are on the list. Is this part of the mandate from the 49% of the 63% of the American electorate that bothered to vote really voted for? Come on Pam, surely there are some dogs for you to purloin out there..

Will they be deleting trumps name from the files and adding Joe Biden?

I feel better about your concern knowing that others have seen this list already.
MAGAs who are determined to save the country are not beyond fudging the truth, but it will play against the MAGAs campaign stereotype of Slo Joe Biden if his name shows up.
