BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi Provides Timetable For Release Of Epstein Files
After weeks of intense speculation, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi provided a timetable for the release of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s client list and extended flight logs.
Bondi has faced increased pressure to release the documents after stating that they were sitting on her desk last week. President Trump signed an executive order authorizing the release of the Epstein files, as well as documents relating to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as major national tragedies such as the September 11 attacks and the origins of COVID-19.
On Wednesday, the attorney general was asked about the impending releases by Fox News host Jesse Watters. “You said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk; when can we see them and what’s taking so long to release them?” Watters asked.
“Jesse, there are well over, this will make you sick, 200 victims, 200,” Bondi replied. “So we have well over 250 actually, so we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information.”
The attorney general then revealed that disclosures will begin starting tomorrow. “But other than that, I think tomorrow… Jesse, breaking news right now, you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office,” she said.
Watters followed up by asking about the content of the first releases and whether it will include flight logs to Epstein’s infamous island or the long-anticipated client list, which is expected to contain dozens of high-profile figures. “What you’re going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information, but it’s pretty sick what that man did,” Bondi answered.
President Trump has long vowed to release Epstein’s infamous client list once he returned to the White House. Epstein — who owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands were dozens of underage girls were trafficked and forced to perform sex acts on powerful individuals — killed himself under mysterious circumstances in a Manhattan federal prison in 2019.
Epstein’s flight logs — which contained the names of former President Bill Clinton, Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey and Prince Andrew among dozens of other high-profile individuals — have previously been released. The flight logs do not present the full picture, however, as not every individual on the list traveled to the notorious island.
For example, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chartered Epstein’s jet in the past for unrelated travel, a common practice for wealthy individuals and families who travel on private jets. President Trump also used the jet in the past, though dozens of witnesses have stated that the president was not involved in any of Epstein’s illegal activities.
Epstein was banned from the president’s Mar-A-Lago estate after he reportedly attempted to approach an underage girl. “I’m not a fan of his,” Trump said after Epstein’s suicide, adding that he had not spoken to him in more than 15 years.
It is unclear whether the client list differs from Epstein’s “black book,” which has been made public and referenced in numerous court proceedings. President Trump has suggested that former President Bill Clinton did indeed travel to the island, a claim Clinton has denied.
President Trump also commissioned a task force geared towards digging deeper into the released files, which will hold hearings on the contents of the Epstein files and other anticipated released. The committee’s first hearing is scheduled for mid-March.
