Attorney General Pam Bondi was duped into thinking she had all the files related to investigations into disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she told Fox News host Mark Levin over the weekend while defending Thursday’s widely mocked document dump.
“I kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more,” Bondi said Saturday. “I was assured that’s it.”
Epstein, who hobnobbed with celebrities, royalty and other powerful people, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Bondi said she found out from a “whistleblower” after releasing 100 pages of flight logs and Epstein’s contact lists that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York is “sitting on thousands of pages of documents” that had not been handed over to her. She is now seeking additional information through the FBI.
Bondi vowed that Americans will eventually see “the full Epstein files.”
“We will get everything,” she told Levin. “We will have it in our possession. We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury information and confidential witnesses, but American people have a right to know.”
