Bondi Criticizes FBI Over Epstein Document Release

The U.S. Department of Justice released a first phase of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, primarily containing previously leaked material, including flight logs and contact lists. Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized the FBI for not disclosing all documents and demanded the release of thousands of additional pages by Friday. The release, which aimed to fulfill transparency promises, failed to provide new revelations and drew backlash for lacking substantive information. Critics, including Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators, expressed disappointment over the limited content, which did not meet public expectations. The DOJ intends to release more documents, but no timeline has been confirmed. Epstein, who died in 2019, was a central figure in a high-profile sex trafficking case involving several prominent individuals.
