Attorney General Pam Bondi is taking a firm stand against government secrecy, demanding that the FBI turn over all remaining documents related to the investigation of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi revealed that a whistleblower informed her that “thousands of pages” of critical documents are still being withheld at the FBI’s New York office—despite her repeated requests for the full records.
Thus far, Bondi has received only about 200 pages, including flight logs, phone numbers, and victim names. However, according to an inside source at the FBI’s New York branch, hundreds of additional files remain undisclosed.
Bondi, 59, issued a firm deadline, declaring, “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.”
“There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access,” she added, signaling her commitment to full transparency.
Meanwhile, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) is moving to ensure that key Epstein-related records are preserved. Ogles, 53, has proposed the Preventing Epstein Documentation Obliteration Act—or the PEDO Act—to stop the Department of Justice from destroying non-public Epstein files.
In a letter to Bondi, Ogles warned of reports that some FBI agents may be attempting to erase critical records. He assured Bondi that if any legal roadblocks arise in releasing Epstein’s client list or other crucial information, he is ready to take legislative action.
“Our constituents deserve nothing less than radical transparency in matters implicating the integrity of our justice system,” Ogles wrote, calling for accountability at the highest levels.
Bondi’s demands put the FBI in the hot seat, as Americans await answers about who was involved with Epstein and why these records have remained hidden for so long.
