NEW: Kash Patel Responds After Stunning Epstein Bombshell Rocks FBI

The controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to powerful individuals reached a new level Thursday, as Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the FBI’s New York field office of withholding critical documents related to Epstein’s extensive criminal enterprise. In response, FBI Director Kash Patel vowed swift action and full transparency, declaring that the agency under his leadership will leave “no stone unturned.”

Bondi’s explosive letter, addressed directly to Patel, claimed that her office had only received a fraction of the requested documents regarding Epstein’s network. The Attorney General, expressing her frustration over the FBI’s lack of compliance, disclosed that a source informed her of thousands of additional pages of records hidden within the Bureau’s New York field office.

“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” Bondi wrote. “Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.”

Bondi ordered Patel to deliver the full Epstein files, including all records, audio, video, and materials related to Epstein and his high-profile clientele, by 8:00 a.m. on February 28. Additionally, she mandated an immediate internal investigation into why the FBI failed to comply with previous requests, demanding a full report within 14 days.

Her letter concluded with the remark: “I know that we are both committed to transparency for the American people, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to serve our President and our country.”

Within hours of Bondi’s public accusation, FBI Director Kash Patel responded with a firm commitment to integrity and accountability.

“The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice,” Patel wrote on X. “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued.”

Patel assured the public that any hidden or destroyed records would be uncovered and brought before the Department of Justice for assessment. “If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them,” he continued. “The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.”

President Donald Trump has been a vocal advocate for the release of Epstein-related files. He signed an executive order authorizing the declassification of Epstein documents, along with records tied to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., classified 9/11 intelligence, and the origins of COVID-19.

Trump’s push for full disclosure has heightened scrutiny over why key Epstein records remain hidden despite multiple government inquiries. The financier’s highly suspicious death in a Manhattan prison cell in 2019, ruled a suicide under controversial circumstances, fueled speculation that powerful individuals involved in his operation may have been shielded from exposure.
