Pam Bondi said she discovered the FBI had been withholding files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the FBI delivered to her more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender.
“We got them all … a truckload of evidence,” Bondi said on Fox News on March 3.
Bondi had imposed a deadline of Feb. 28 at 8 a.m. for delivery of the newly discovered files.
“There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access,” she wrote in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel.
It’s not clear when the documents the FBI was withholding will be disclosed.
“I have the FBI going through them,” Bondi said on Fox.
“We’re going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein,” she added later.
Patel is also working on a report that will detail why the FBI withheld the documents, according to the attorney general.
Bondi’s comments came as the head of the FBI’s New York office said in a message to colleagues that he was retiring after being directed by the FBI to do so.
“I’ve been told many times in my life, ‘When you find yourself in a hole, sometimes it’s best to quit digging.’ Screw that,“ James Dennehy wrote in the March 3 message. ”I will never stop defending this joint. I’ll just do it willingly and proudly from outside the wire.”
Dennehy was put in charge of the New York field office in 2024 by then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.
The FBI declined to comment. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
