On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi released files relating to Jeffery Epstein. The files were contained in a binder titled, “Epstein Files: Phase 1” and were given to media influencers Chaya Raichik (@libsoftiktok), Rogan O’Handley (@DC_Draino) and Liz Wheeler, among others.
Many people who have been waiting for years to see the release of these files were severely disappointed when they learned that what has been released was not all the files, but rather things that have been available to the public for years.
Rep. Anna Paulina from Florida took to X in order to express her frustration.
As many people were beginning to feel as if they had been lied to by the administration, which had promised to release ALL files during the campaign, Bondi released a letter to the new head of the FBI, Kash Patel, saying that she had been lied to by the FBI.
“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents.”
After the release of the letter, Patel responded “The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.”
