* US Attorney General Pam Bondi was not pleased. She sent FBI Director Kash Patel a letter saying she learned the FBI Field Office in New York was withholding thousands of documents that neither she nor Patel previously knew existed. She demanded everything on Epstein by 8:00 am Friday: Deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how much information was obtained. There will be no withholding or limitations to my or your access.
