‘No withholdings or limitations’: Pam Bondi presses Kash Patel on disclosing Jeffrey Epstein docs

The Donald Trump appointees are clashing over the documents.

Less than 24 hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the imminent release of documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, she says there is more information that her Office hasn’t seen.

And she wants it by Friday morning with no exceptions or omissions.

“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,” Bondi wrote FBI head Kash Patel, as reported by Fox News. “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.”

On Wednesday, Bondi promised Jesse Watters “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 U.S.

She attributed delays to the need to redact identifying information about more than 250 victims during that prime-time interview.

Now she’s giving Patel a short window to release all relevant materials about the dead sex trafficker.

“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,” Bondi wrote. “There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access.”

The report surfaced after U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna blasted the incomplete release based on a story by New York Post reporter Steven Nelson that said Epstein’s personal address book, a 100-page document, would be published without context.

“I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today,” Luna posted on X. “A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein’s phonebook. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR instead of leaking old info to press.”

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.

    Gee, that will lower inflation and take my mind off the wholesale corruption and destruction by Musk and his Putin Puppet Trump. It’s a circus and a scam. Watch what they do, not what they say.

    Knowing Pam as I do, there is something embarrassing to someone big on the liberal side of the fence. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so adamant about release. But, but, really? Everything? I really want to see the notes specifically about our President’s interactions with his pal..oh yeah.

      There is no way the list won’t be altered. We all know Trump is on there, That is why it is taking so long to release. They have to bury his name.

    Epstein‘s Rolodex will align almost perfectly with corrupt Democrats’ donor list.

      Oh Oscar, my sweet summer child.
      You are aware that Trump and Epstein were close friends and associates right? This isn’t some big secret. They buddied around all the time.

      Sadly for you, a list has already been released, Trump’s name is all over it.

      Trump should not have been enabling Epstein to traffic girls from Mar-a-Lago, but if you are OK with that, then I guess you are OK with that.

      I’m not OK with that.

    Good Morn’Ting America,
    Dook 4 Brains Leftys world-wide are very upset about the release of their pervert ways with Epstein.
    Sure there may be 4 or 4 in the guilty party pool who identify as Sage Patriots but America is willing to send those 3 or 4 Fake Patriots to prison along with the multitudes of Dook 4 Brains Lefty perverts.
    Say your prayers “Guilty Dooks”,

    Trump is a well known Epstien associate and friend. It’s also well documented that Trump once raped a 13 year old girl and then threatened her life if she told anybody.

    Trump is scum, and belongs in prison for this and so much more.
    But his supporters are even worse. They look at all of this and still get behind him.

    That conversation between all of these phony Christian Trump supporters and St. Peter will be very interesting one. 🔥🔥

    I guess they weren’t hiding things as despite all the hype, she didn’t discover anything new. Not condoning Epstein and his evil, but they have talked about this forever and she didn’t come up with anything new???

    We all know that Trump is on the list. We have seen the pics and videos of them together. So there is no way the GOP will allow a list that isn’t altered to remove him and others. That is why it is taking so long for it to be released.
