Friday Night Special: Jeffrey Epstein Explosive Documents, Do They Exist?


Listen Later

Six years after his death, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news, and despite the FBI maintaining that the millionaire financer committed suicide in prison, doubts linger. The  existence of Epstein documents and whether they will be released on many minds.  Despite clams by Government officials they there are thousand of videos and pictures to review, officials  confirmed there is no “Epstein client list, ”  meaning wealthy and powerful men who were provided with underage girls for sex.   Attorney General Pam Bondi Bondi released what she called the "first phase" of the declassified Epstein files in February. flight logs, an evidence list and a redacted list of contacts. The AG said at the time the Justice Department would release more case files after redacting victims’ names. When asked Bondi said a list of Epstein’s clients, was on her for review."  but in this month’s memo,   the Justice Department said there was "no incriminating ‘client list.’"  and when pressed about it Bondi side stepped the issue.   The memo stated quote “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." 

With the political furor growing, President Donald Trump, said on Thursday  he has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury testimony related to Epstein's criminal prosecution.  Bondi replied in a social media post,   “President Trump — we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.” 

 Attorney General Pam Bondi has been in office just two weeks when she announced the release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Justice Department issued a statement alongside "Phase 1," clarifying that the declassified files largely contained previously leaked documents that had never been formally released by the U.S. government. While many expected Epstein’s client list to reveal explosive details, most of the roughly 200-page release consisted of previously circulated information, including Epstein’s contact list and flight logs from his private jet.

Amid public disappointment, Bondi sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, claiming a source at the New York FBI Field Office informed her that thousands of pages of Epstein-related documents remained in the agency’s possession. She demanded the remaining files be delivered to her office by 8:00 a.m. the next day and ordered Patel to investigate why her directives had not been followed.

Bondi has since stated that her office received a "truckload of evidence," which she says includes the remaining Epstein documents the FBI had withheld. She claims Director Patel is investigating the reason for the delay while other agents work to redact the remaining files. Bondi promised,

“If something’s redacted, you will know the line and you will know why it’s redacted.” Many anticipate new indictments based on the documents’ contents.
