‘The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network,’ Bondi said.
Attorney General Pam Bondi declassified and publicly released the first phase of files related to the investigation and conviction of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Feb. 27 after the Justice Department head caught the FBI withholding some of the documents.
Bondi released the first batch of files on Thursday in conjunction with the FBI. Epstein was convicted of sexually abusing and exploiting more than 250 underage girls in his homes in New York, Florida, and other locations. The initial batch of files contains “documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government,” according to the Justice Department.
“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” Bondi said in a statement.
“The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
