US Attorney General Pam Bondi has confirmed that documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will be made public on Friday, marking a major development in the long-standing case.
“It’s pretty sick…” Bondi said in an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. When asked when the public could expect access to the files, she responded, “Tomorrow… breaking news right now, you're gonna see some Epstein information being released by my office.”
The announcement follows increasing pressure from lawmakers, including Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who has urged the FBI and Department of Justice to disclose Epstein’s flight logs and other records. In a letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Bondi, Blackburn emphasised the need for transparency.
“The American people deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. As you know, over the course of many years, Jeffrey Epstein built a heinous global sex trafficking network that caused irreparable harm to countless women,” Blackburn wrote, as per The Hill.
She also called for the release of all video surveillance footage from Epstein’s Palm Beach residence and business records obtained by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has also joined calls for disclosure, questioning Bondi on social media about delays in releasing the files. “On Feb 11 & Feb 19, House Oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK etc. The DOJ has not responded,” she wrote on X.
