Bondi revealed that she had initially requested the complete Epstein case file before Patel took charge of the bureau but received only 200 pages—far fewer than the documents released last year in a civil lawsuit involving Epstein’s longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Attorney General Pam Bondi claims thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were withheld by the FBI, following the first release of records Bondi said would include “a lot of names” associated with the disgraced financier, though the initial files lacked bombshell information.

Bondi suggested in a Thursday letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that more records were recently discovered. She ordered the FBI to hand over “the full and complete Epstein files” to her by Friday morning, and directed Patel to “conduct an immediate investigation” into why her order to the FBI to turn over all documents was not followed.

The first wave of files posted on the Justice Department website have largely been circulating for years and didn't include any new bombshells about the sex trafficking case.
