Letter from Congressman Dan Goldman to extremist Attorney General Pam Bondi: “I write to express my grave concern about what appears to be a concerted effort by you to delay and even prevent the release of the Jeffrey Epstein Files in their entirety potentially at the direction of the sitting President of the United States, Donald J Trump. On February 27, 2025, to much fanfare, the Department of Justice under your leadership released a trove of already-public documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case titled The Epstein Files: Phase 1. This document dump, which was redacted ostensibly to ‘protect victims,’ was sold to the American people as a fulfillment of President Trump’s promise of government transparency. It was rightly met, however, with widespread ridicule from across the political spectrum as a ham-handed attempt to gaslight the American people.”
“Shortly after the underwhelming ‘Phase 1’ release, you sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel attempting to pin blame on the FBI’s New York field office for the missing material. In that. letter, also dated February 27, 2025, you demanded that the FBI deliver, within 24 hours, ‘the full and complete Epstein files… including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained.’ You went on to clearly state that, ‘[t]here will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access.'”
“You further demanded a ‘comprehensive report’ from the FBI Director ‘within 14 days.’ Director Patel subsequently indicated his intent to comply with your request in a post on X: ‘There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned.’ It is now 74 days past the issuance of both your 24-hour demand and 14-day deadline for a comprehensive report, yet you have provided no additional materials nor an explanation for the delay… The convergence of your unexplained delay in releasing the Epstein Files, the reporting nearly two months ago that numerous FBI agents were working overtime to redact the materials, President Trump’s well-documented affiliation with Epstein, and his view that the Department of Justice is his personal law firm raises serious questions about whether President Trump has intervened to prevent the public release of the Epstein Files in order to hide his own embarrassing and potentially criminal conduct,” wrote Goldman.
Probably not going to get a response, but still a fun wound to pour salt in politically. The fanboys are getting pretty antsy about how little has actually happened in the Epstein-verse since January.
