Pam Bondi reveals new excuse for not releasing Jeffrey Epstein files

Attorney General Pam Bondi offered another excuse this week for the delay in releasing files related to wealthy sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Over two months after Bondi initially claimed she was releasing the Epstein documents, the attorney general was asked about the delay on Wednesday.

"The FBI, they're reviewing, there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims, and no one victim will ever get released," she told reporters at the White House.

"It's just the volume, and that's what they're going through right now," Bondi added. "The FBI is diligently going through that."

The attorney general also dismissed claims made by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) that some files had been destroyed.

"I haven't seen that statement, but I'll call him later and find out," Bondi said.

The failure to release the Epstein files has been a sore point with President Donald Trump's MAGA base.
