Pam Bondi Reveals What The Holdup Is With Epstein File Release

Published on May 7, 2025

Todayville

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Harold Hutchison

Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that the FBI is still reviewing “tens of thousands” of child porn videos that were in the possession of Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein committed suicide while awaiting trial after he was arrested in 2019 on sex charges. Bondi was asked about the delay releasing the documents pertaining to Epstein by a reporter after announcing plans for a press conference 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, it’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now,” Bondi said. “The FBI is diligently going through that… I’ll call him later.”

WATCH:

Epstein, who pled guilty to sex charges in 2008, had extensive ties to celebrities, politicians and executives, even after he was a convicted sex offender. Among those who were known to have been close were L Brands founder Lex Wexner, director Woody Allen and Prince Andrew.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also met with Epstein a number of times, as did employees of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates met with Epstein as late as 2019 despite concerns his then-wife, Melinda, expressed according to a May 2021 report by The Wall Street Journal.

The Daily Caller asked President Donald Trump about the delay in releasing the files during an April 22 White House event. “I don’t know, I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know,” Trump told Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese. “I know that we’ve done the RFK, the Kennedy, Martin Luther King is out there very shortly, so we’ll find out. But … we’ve really, really announced, we’re doing them in full transparency.”

Bondi released the first batch of files regarding Epstein on February 27.
