After flop: Now AG promises ‘truckload’ of secret Epstein files

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that a federal court has delivered a “truckload of evidence” related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case to the FBI—files she has vowed to make public as soon as possible.

Bondi had set a February 28 deadline for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to turn over all Epstein-related documents. She previously accused the district of withholding “thousands of pages” ahead of the Justice Department’s highly anticipated release of Epstein’s contact book and flight logs.

“So, we got them all—hopefully all of them—by Friday at 8 a.m.,” Bondi told Fox News host Sean Hannity, confirming the massive volume of documents now in government hands.

FBI Reviewing Files Amid Concerns Over Withholding

Bondi revealed that the FBI is actively combing through the files, with Director Kash Patel leading efforts to determine why the documents were not released sooner.

“You’re looking at these documents thinking, ‘These aren’t all the Epstein files’… and we’re going, ‘Where’s the rest of the stuff?’” Bondi said, emphasizing her frustration with previous gaps in the DOJ’s collection.

According to Bondi, a key source tipped off the DOJ that critical evidence was still sitting in the Southern District of New York—prompting her to demand its immediate transfer.

“A truckload of evidence arrived,” she confirmed. “It’s now in the possession of the FBI.”

Release Coming Soon—With Redactions

Bondi assured the public that the files will be made available once sensitive details—primarily the identities of Epstein’s victims—are redacted.

“We’re going through it as quickly as we can, but cautiously, to protect all the victims of Epstein because there are a lot of victims,” she said.

When asked if additional redactions would be made, Bondi specified that only information tied to “national security” and “grand jury proceedings” would remain classified. However, she insisted that any redacted lines would come with an explanation.

“If something’s redacted, you will know the line and you will know why it’s redacted,” she declared.

Public Deserves to Know

Bondi stressed that Patel’s team is working “as fast as possible” to ensure the documents are released to the public, saying, “The American people have a right to know.”

Her announcement follows last week’s DOJ release of around 200 pages of Epstein-related files, which—despite the hype—contained few bombshells. The documents mostly named celebrities and politicians already known to have associated with Epstein.

With the newly uncovered files now in the FBI’s hands, Bondi is promising full transparency—leaving many to wonder whether this next release will finally expose the full scope of Epstein’s network.
