AG Pam Bondi says some Epstein files coming Thursday: ‘It’s pretty sick’

Attorney General Pam Bondi Reveals DOJ Plans to Release Jeffrey Epstein Information

Attorney General Pam Bondi made a significant announcement on Wednesday during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime. She revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would release information related to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, following increasing pressure from Republican lawmakers. Bondi emphasized that her office is working diligently to protect the identities of over 250 alleged victims connected to the Epstein case. When asked about the specific information to be released, Bondi stated, "What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information." She also expressed her disgust at Epstein’s actions and those of his co-defendant, calling the revelations "pretty sick."

This announcement comes as part of a broader push by Republican lawmakers to declassify and release classified documents related to Epstein, as well as other high-profile cases, including the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The lawmakers have been urging the DOJ to act swiftly in making these records public, citing the need for transparency and accountability.

GOP Lawmakers Press DOJ for Release of Sensitive Files

In recent weeks, Republican lawmakers have intensified their efforts to secure the release of classified documents pertaining to Epstein and other significant historical events. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who leads the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has been at the forefront of this initiative. Luna and her team sent two letters to the DOJ on February 11 and February 19, requesting briefings and documents related to the Epstein case, as well as the Kennedy and King files. Initially, Luna reported that the DOJ had not responded to these requests, prompting her to turn to social media to seek answers.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Luna expressed her frustration, stating, "The DOJ has not responded. Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG. @AGPamBondi what is the status of the documents? These documents were ordered to be declassified." Luna also sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and White House Counsel David Warrington, demanding a briefing by Thursday on the plans for the release of these documents.

DOJ Responds to Lawmakers’ Requests

After days of silence, the DOJ finally responded to Rep. Luna’s inquiries. In a letter signed by Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis, the DOJ acknowledged Luna’s requests and provided some insight into its plans. Davis wrote, "The integrity of criminal investigations and prosecutions is essential to every component of the Department’s mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our nation safe, and protect civil rights. The Department remains committed to meeting its legal recordkeeping obligations as it pursues that mission. We are reviewing your requests and look forward to engaging further to accommodate your oversight and legislative needs."

While the letter did not provide specific details about the release of the documents, it assured Luna that the DOJ is actively reviewing her requests and exploring ways to accommodate her oversight and legislative needs. Luna’s office shared the letter on social media, expressing cautious optimism about the DOJ’s willingness to cooperate.

President Trump’s Executive Order on Declassification

The push for transparency gained momentum after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month, directing federal agencies to create plans for the release of top-secret documents. The order specifically highlighted the need to declassify records related to the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in addition to the JFK files. The executive order instructed the DOJ to coordinate with the Director of National Intelligence, the National Security Advisor, and the White House Counsel to establish a plan for the release of the JFK files by February 7 and the MLK and Robert F. Kennedy files by March 9.

This executive order has been seen as a significant step toward fulfilling the government’s obligation to provide the public with access to historically significant records. Lawmakers and transparency advocates have long argued that the declassification of these documents could shed light on unresolved questions surrounding these events and bring closure to the families of the victims.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Client List and the DOJ’s Role

One of the most anticipated aspects of the DOJ’s release is the potential disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein’s client list. Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His case has sparked widespread outrage and raised questions about the involvement of high-profile individuals in his criminal activities. Attorney General Pam Bondi has confirmed that her office is reviewing Epstein’s client list, along with the Kennedy and King files, to determine what information can be safely released to the public without compromising ongoing investigations or violating the privacy of victims.

Bondi’s efforts to balance transparency with the need to protect sensitive information have been met with both praise and skepticism. While some lawmakers and advocates have commended her for taking steps to address the public’s demand for accountability, others have criticized the DOJ for moving too slowly and for failing to provide more concrete details about the release.

Public Reaction and the Broader Implications

The upcoming release of information related to Epstein and the Kennedy and King assassinations has generated significant public interest and debate. Many Americans hope that the declassification of these documents will finally answer lingering questions about these events and shed light on potential government cover-ups. At the same time, the release of Epstein’s client list could have far-reaching consequences, potentially implicating high-profile individuals and institutions in his criminal activities.

As the DOJ moves forward with its plans to release these records, the stakes are high. The agency must navigate a complex web of legal, ethical, and political considerations to ensure that the release of this information serves the public interest without causing harm to innocent parties. The response from lawmakers, the media, and the public will be closely watched as the DOJ takes this significant step toward greater transparency.

In the coming days, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her team will be under intense scrutiny as they work to fulfill the government’s commitment to releasing these records. While the exact content of the information to be disclosed remains unclear, one thing is certain: the revelations could have a profound impact on the public’s understanding of these events and the government’s role in addressing them.
