Donald Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi hinted she plans to release bombshell files on deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting the list of his his shrouded clients could soon see daylight.
Bondi said the potentially explosive material is ‘on my desk’ and there are ‘a lot of documents.’
She was briefed on the contents shortly after being confirmed to her post, and said she was looking at them at Trump’s direction.
‘I was briefed on that yesterday. I can’t talk about that that publicly. President Trump has given a very strong directive and that is going to be followed,’ Bondi told conservative media figure Benny Johnson.Â
‘A lot of documents,’ she added, describing the trove.
Bondi made the comments at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), just outside Washington, where she was a speaker.
Johnson asked her: ‘Where are we at with the Jeffrey Epstein list, the documents? Kash has made a lot of public statements about this.’
That was a reference to Kash Patel, Trump’s new FBI Director.
Bondi told Johnson: ‘Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept. And that’s why we’re all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.’

There has been intense interest in Epstein’s client list ever since he was found dead in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trail.
Epstein had a series of well-known contacts in politics and business. Among the people he knew socially was Trump, who had once praised Epstein as a ‘terrific guy’ but who then broke with the financier.
‘I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you,’ Trump said following Epstein’s arrest.
Author Michael Wolff released tapes of Epstein talking at length about Trump’s inner circle as part of his ‘Fire and Fury’ podcast, prompting angry pushback from Trump’s camp.
Court documents also disclosed multiple boldfaced names linked to Epstein. Among them were former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, actor Kevin Spacey, and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak. All denied wrongdoing.

Bondi told Fox News when asked about the Epstein information: ‘It’s sitting right now on my desk to review.’
Asked if there was anything so far that made her say ‘Oh my gosh,’ Bondi replied, ‘Not yet.’Â
She also mentioned ‘JFK files’ and files relating to Martin Luther King, Jr. as being ‘all in the process of being reviewed.’Â
During Patel’s Senate confirmation hearing, Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn asked him, ‘Will you work with me on this issue so we know who worked with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings?’
Patel answered ‘absolutely’ he would. Blackburn indicated the files might have information on who flew on Epstein’s infamous ‘Lolita Express’ private jet and who helped him build an infamous sex trafficking ring.
