Attorney General Pam Bondi has ignited a firestorm by hinting at the release of long-hidden files detailing Jeffrey Epstein’s secretive client list. Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Bondi confirmed that she has reviewed the materials and is following direct orders from President Donald Trump.
Trump orders full review
Bondi revealed that the documents are currently in her possession. “It’s sitting right now on my desk,” she told Fox News, adding that there are “a lot of documents” under review. She also confirmed that Trump has given a “very strong directive” on the matter, which she intends to follow.
Epstein’s shadow looms large
The prospect of these files becoming public has sent shockwaves through political and business circles. Epstein, who died in his jail cell in 2019, had extensive ties to powerful figures, including former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, actor Kevin Spacey, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. All have denied any wrongdoing.
FBI director pledges transparency
Trump’s newly appointed FBI Director, Kash Patel, has vowed to cooperate in uncovering the full extent of Epstein’s trafficking network. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn pressed Patel on whether he would assist in identifying those linked to Epstein’s operations. “Absolutely,” he replied.
Beyond Epstein: more secrets to come
Bondi also mentioned ongoing reviews of classified files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. The scope of these disclosures suggests that the Epstein revelations may be just the beginning of a much larger transparency push under Trump’s administration.
