Pam Bondi Reveals What The Holdup Is With Epstein File Release
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.

Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s alleged assassin Sunday during a speech at the memorial service for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, saying he would not respond with hatred.
The accused assassin, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested by police on the evening of Sept. 11, roughly 33 hours after Kirk was fatally shot while taking part in a “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University.
In the midst of an emotional speech, Erika Kirk recounted the Biblical account of Jesus Christ on the cross forgiving those who crucified him.

“On the cross, our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,’” Mrs. Kirk said, choking up with emotion. “That man, that young man… I forgive him.”
The audience erupted in applause and emotion for approximately 45 seconds as Erika Kirk broke down in tears.
“I forgive him because it is what Christ did,” Mrs. Kirk said. “It is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love, and always all. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”
Prior to forgiving the assassin, Mrs. Kirk told a capacity crowd that filled up State Farm Stadium why Charlie Kirk went to the college campuses.
“Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the west, the young men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose, no faith and no reason to live. The men wasting their lives on distractions and the men consumed with resentment, anger and hate,” Erika Kirk said, choking up at times. “Charlie wanted to help them. He wanted them to have a home with Turning Point USA, and when he went onto campus, he was looking to show them a better path and, a better life that was right there for the taking. He wanted to show them now. My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life.”
News release from Conservative Party Communications
Friday, Tony Baldinelli, Conservative Member of Parliament for Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake, introduced a Private Member’s Bill, which seeks to keep dangerous offenders and mass murderers like Paul Bernardo in maximum security prison.
In a May 2023 decision which shocked the community – and Canadians across the country – Correctional Service Canada transferred infamous serial killer Paul Bernardo from a maximum security prison at Millhaven Institute near Kingston, Ontario, to a medium security prison at La Macaza in Quebec.
“A decade of Liberal soft-on-crime policies has put the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of victims and the law-abiding public. Paul Bernardo should never have been transferred to a medium security prison. This terrible decision not only shocked the country, but it revictimized the families and should never have been allowed to happen,” said Baldinelli. “My Private Member’s Bill will make sure it never happens again.”
Baldinelli’s Bill C-232 will amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to require that all court-ordered dangerous offenders and mass murderers be permanently assigned a maximum security classification. It will also repeal the Liberals’ “least restrictive environment” standard for assigning inmates to prisons and restore the language of “necessary restrictions” that the previous Conservative government put in place.
The Bill complements a larger Conservative effort to combat the out-of-control crime wave Canadians are facing after a decade of Liberal government.
These other measures include:
- A three-strikes law for repeat violent offenders so that serious crimes come with serious consequences.
- Restoring safe streets with a Jail Not Bail Act to improve public safety and tip the scales of justice back in favour of innocent Canadians.
- Strengthening the legal response to intimate partner violence through Bill C-225.
- Ensuring that victims of crimes are provided timely explanations of decisions determining the movement and status of criminals that victimized them through Bill C-221.
“Enough is enough. Conservatives will put victims’ rights before criminals’, restore law, order and safety in our communities, and ensure monsters like Paul Bernardo and other dangerous mass murderers and violent criminals stay where they belong: in maximum security prison,” said Baldinelli.
