Trump’s Word
"He (Epstein) was a good salesman. He was a hale and hearty type of a guy. He had some nice assets that he'd throw around like islands. But a lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately I was not one of them," Trump said adding that Kennedy files are very different from Epstein files but he would be inclined to release the latter as well as he has no problem.
Former president Donald Trump said he would take a look at the Jeffrey Epstein files and be inclined to release them. "A lot of big people went to that island but fortunately I was not one of them," Trump said at the Lex Fridman podcast. The comment came as he spoke about his assurance of establishing an independent presidential commission on the assassination attempts which would release all documents pertaining to the assassination of former President John F Kennedy.
On being asked why Trump had some hesitation over Epstein, Trump said he actually never had any hesitation as he was not involved.
This was amplified by Libs of TikTok /archive here/ to the tune of millions of views on X.
On November 6, 2024, posted this video /archive here/ (that you can also see here on Rumble), in which he said he would declassify the 9/11 files, the JFK files and the Epstein files.
Following his recent election win, social media users have been urging Donald Trump to release files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a rumored client list tied to Epstein's activities.
The day after his victory, several users on X (formerly Twitter) referenced Trump's campaign comments, where he had stated he would have "no problem" releasing documents related to the Epstein case.
AG Pam Bondi’s Word
On February 20, 2025, Benny Johnson posted /archive here/ on X a video clip from his Benny Show.
AG Bondi, apparently at CPAC, was interviewed (by someone with Fox Newsaccording to Marca),
“Where are we at with the Jeffery Epstein list? The documents?…”
AG Bondi states,
Well, I was briefed on that yesterday. I can’t talk about that publicly. But, you know, President Trump has given a very strong directive and that’s going to be followed.
The interviewer says,
Wow. OK, so…
Bondi says,
A lot of documents
The interviewer responds,
Yeah, OK, alright. So people can expect actual movement on this. It’s not just empty promises.
Bondi says,
Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept and that’s why we’re all there; to, to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.
AG Pam Bondi’s Slip
On the following day, February 21, 2025, the AG Pam Bondi discussed the Epstein issue again as we can see in the video in this post /archive here/.
AG Bondi is asked,
“The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients. Will that really happen?”
She answers,
“It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump.”
It would soon seem as if she was either lying or unaware that there’s much more than what was (supposedly) on her desk. At ay rate, as time passed, more and more memes addressed the matter. See some of them below.
Today, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), declassified and publicly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his sexual exploitation of over 250 underage girls at his homes in New York and Florida, among other locations. The first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government.
“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability.”
“The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.”
Attorney General Bondi requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response, the Department received approximately 200 pages of documents, however, the Attorney General was later informed of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein that were not previously disclosed. The Attorney General has requested the FBI deliver the remaining documents to the Department by 8:00 AM on February 28 and has tasked FBI Director Kash Patel with investigating why the request for all documents was not followed.
The Department remains committed to transparency and intends to release the remaining documents upon review and redaction to protect the identities of Epstein’s victims.
A copy of Attorney General Bondi’s letter can be downloaded here.
Also on February 27, 2025, the Office of the Attorney General sent a public letter /archive/ signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel
Dear Director Patel,
Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone numbers.
I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents. Late yesterday; I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related. to the investigation and indictment. of Epstein. Despite my repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files. 'When you and I spoke yesterday, you were just as surprised as I was to learn this new information.
By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28; the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office~ including all records; documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless :of how such information was obtained. There will be no withholdings or limitations to my ot your access. The Department of Justice will ensure that any public disclosure of these files will be done in a manner to protect the privacy of victims and in accordance with law, as I have done my entire career as a prosecutor.
I am also directing you to conduct an immediate investigation into why my order to the FBI was not followed. You will deliver to me a comprehensive report of your findings and proposed personnel action within 14 days.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this important matter. I know that we are both committed to transparency for the American people, and I look forward to continuing to work 'With you to• serve our President and out country;
Conservative influencers in the photo-op include Chaya Raichik – known for “LibsofTikTok”, Rogan O’Handley – known as “DC Draino”, Mike Cernovich – known as “Cernovich”, Alex Lorusso – known as “Alx”, former OANN host Liz Wheeler and comedian Chad Prather
Some wondered if it was all just a photo op given there were no bombshell new revelations.
Cernovich wrote Thursday: 'I don’t respond to gossip usually. We left a meeting, it’s a wall of cameras there for another event, caught us by surprise. It was like a firing squad!'
He added that he was not 'smiling' and simply wanted to leave undetected, adding: 'I personally had no desire for anyone to know what I do.'
He denied that the whole thing was a photo op, calling those who were criticizing him 'f***ing muppets.'
'Keir Starmer was in town, there was a huge wall of photographers lined up outside the West Wing expected UK emissaries and they saw a bunch of other people.'
He also defended Bondi over the lack of any names named or crimes exposed by the release.
'AG Pam Bondi wanted to get out what she could. She’s a lawyer not a media personality, and the OODA loop got f***ed up. It happens. Trump admin is being sued 1,000 times. Terrorists are attacking. Everyone is working 24/7. No one has a magic wand.'
Bondi said the materials she was given by the FBI amounted to about 200 pages.
That included 'primarily flight logs' for Epstein's private jet, along with 'Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone numbers.'
Much of the information contained was previously released publicly.
The Attorney General accused Patel's agency of hiding thousands of documents related to the investigation and demanded the rest be turned over by 8AM on Friday

Also on this date, Representative Anna Paulina Luna posted this on X archive here.
The text of her post reads,
I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today… A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phonebook.
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment.
GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!
On this date, FBI Director Kash Patel posted this /archive here/ on X,

There is one person who takes the blame for what happened today.
It’s (at)PamBondi.
I think she should resign.
She went on Fox News and said the files were on her desk. Then she went on Fox News last night and said we would have files today.
She is a total liar.
Just face it.
The following day, Alex Jones posted a video /archive here/ wherein he states that AG Bondi is not scamming us but, rather, is being scammed by the FBI.
In the video, Jones states,
A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, Pam Bondi, she tried to scam us with this.’
No, they scammed her and she instantly flipped out about it and, and sent over 50 agents into the main FBI offices where they have all the documents and they’ve been there since yesterday afternoon and they’re still there and they’re, and they’re - some local press is getting this - loading trucks up.
They’re just taking everything because the feds there - wait until you hear who they are - will not help them and will not give them any information and the head of it put in there by Ray said, a month ago, ‘We’re gonna dig in and resist Trump. Now he should have been fired right there but they didn’t, they gave him rope and I’ve talked to people in the administration, high up and I talked to other high-up reporters that’ve talked to Tosh yesterday and he said and, and…
…this is a setup. They know they already destroyed most of the evidence and moved some of the other for insurance. Now they have them on obstruction. They have them. They have James Comey’s daughter who runs it. They have the head of the FBI in New York. They have it all. And so this is massive.
Bondi told Fox News host Mark Levin that Americans will “get the full Epstein files” thanks to Donald Trump being the “most transparent president.”
Independent also reported,
Attorney General Pam Bondi has again proclaimed that America will get “the full” Jeffrey Epstein files after the highly-anticipated “first phase” contained no major new allegations about the convicted sex offender nor his associates.
They furthermore reported,
“New York City SDNY (Southern District of New York), they’re sitting on thousands of pages of documents regarding Epstein. Thousands, thousands. And of course, you’ve seen the very strong letter,” she said.
U.S. Attorney General spoke with Fox News' Mark Levin about the Epstein files over the weekend (Fox News)
“We will get everything. We will have it in our possession. We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury information and confidential witnesses. But the American people have a right to know. And Donald Trump is the most transparent president in our nation’s history.”
Bondi also promised that documents surrounding the assassinations of former President John F Kennedy and civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr will also be declassified.
“So not only will America get the full Epstein files, they will get JFK, they will get Martin Luther King,” she said.
The hyped declassification of “all” of the Epstein documents was met with backlash from conservatives after Bondi teed up their release Wednesday and told Fox News that the details “will make you sick.”
Later in their report, they state,
Over the years, thousands of pages of records have been released through lawsuits, Epstein’s criminal dockets, public disclosures and Freedom of Information Act requests.
In January 2024, a court unsealed the final batch of documents collected as evidence in a lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
“It was released in an unprofessional manner with paid, partisan social media influencers to curate their binders for us,” right-wing media pundit and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer tweeted Thursday. “I can’t trust anything in the binder. Neither should you.”
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the Department of Justice has received more Jeffery Epstein files from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after the document release she touted last week fell flat.
Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Bondi confirmed that a "truckload" of Epstein files were delivered by the FBI after she gave the agency until 8 a.m. on Friday morning to deliver them.
"I gave [the FBI] a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything," Bondi explained. "And a source had told me where the documents were being kept, Southern District of New York, shock. So we got them all by Friday at 8 a.m."
"Thousands of pages of documents. I have the FBI going through them...and Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents," she continued.
Bondi went on to describe the documents as being "a truckload of evidence," and emphasized that a detailed report is incoming.
"And, you know, we're going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein," she said.
The attorney general also accused the Biden administration of "sitting" on the documents.
"No one did anything with them. And why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report on that," Bondi said. "You know, sadly, these people don't believe in transparency. But I think more unfortunately, I think a lot of them don't believe in honesty."
"And it's a new day. It's a new administration, and everything's going to come out to the public. The public has the right to know Americans have a right to know."
now the White House says there’s “no specific timeline” to release the rest.
They specify that during a briefing on April 28, 2025, O'Handley (DC Draino on X)
asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when to expect the “bulk of the files” to be released or any arrests related to the matter. She said she doesn’t have a “specific timeline” for their release.
“I can assure you that the Attorney General and her team are working on this diligently,” Leavitt said, before calling Bondi a “bulldog.”
who accused Britain’s Prince Andrew and other influential men of sexually exploiting her as a teenager trafficked by financier Jeffrey Epstein, has died. She was 41.
Giuffre died by suicide Friday at her farm in Western Australia, her publicist confirmed.
The family of Epstein abuse survivor Virginia Giuffre have released her 'heartbreaking' final letter where she writes 'battle lines are drawn'.
The handwritten letter comes just days after Ms Giuffre, 41, committed suicide.
Giuffre, 41, was found at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia, where she had been living for the past few years.
The letter was shared by Ms Giuffre's sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, who has said she will carry on her legacy.
The 'heartbreaking' handwritten letter reads: "Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims.
"Is protesting the answer?
"I don’t know. But we’ve got to start somewhere."
Sharing the letter, Ms Roberts wrote: "Hello world. We found a handwritten note that our sister Virginia wrote.
"I think it’s important that the survivors know that she’s with you and her voice will not be silenced.
"I know that it’s so important, and her wish is that we continue to fight."

'Not the truth'
The former lawyer for the victims of billionaire paedophile and disgraced businessman Jeffrey Epstein has told LBC he "questions everything" following the suicide of one of his victims Virginia Giuffre.
Spencer Kuvin told LBC's Tom Swarbrick that often the "initial story is not the truth".
Later in the article, we read,
Swarbrick also mentioned a tweet posted by Giuffre back in 2019 where she mentioned that she wanted it "publicy known that in no way, shape or form am I sucidal."
Kuvin responded saying he believes that that sentiment was "true at the time" amid the height of the investigation into Prince Andrew and Epstein.
“I'm not surprised that she would feel that way at the time, obviously with some of the health issues she’s had in recent years as well as some of the issues with her children, I think circumstances can certainly change.”
However, he added he always "skeptical and cynical".
The victims are "always skeptical of what the authorities say", he continued.
He said the circumstances surrounding the death of Epstein was “highly suspect” and that there has never been “complete and full openness” from the Department of Justice about it.

On April 28, 20205, reports James O’Keefe archive the Attorney General of United States Pam Bondi was secretly filmed telling some one in a restaurant, that with regard to the Epstein operation, the government has
tens and thousands videos and it's all with little kids.
As we’ll see, O’Keefe says his media group emailed her office to tell her that they had this video in which she said what she said, so she held a press conference on May 7 to get ahead of the O’Keefe’s Media Group expose, to officially state at a press conference what she was caught on hidden camera saying on April 28.
On May 7, at the White House, AG Bondi spoke thusly to the press.
What is important here is that starting at 1:57 in the this video of the press conference, she was asked,
James Palmer said yesterday that all the Epstein files are missing. Can you confirm? They still haven't heard from you.
No. No. The FBI. Yeah, 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. The FBI is diligently going through that.
The following day, May 8, James O’Keefe (at)JamesOKeefeIII posted on X /archive/,
AG Pam Bondi Was Covertly Recorded on April 28, Revealing Previously Undisclosed Information About Epstein Regarding 'Tens of Thousands of Videos of Little Kids' to a Complete Stranger in a D.C. Restaurant
Yesterday, the AG Made an Almost Identical Statement Publicly After O'Keefe Media Provided a Quote of What She Said, in a Request for Comment
In the video (which you can also see on Rumble here), O’Keefe says
“Yesterday, Attorney General of the United States Pam Bondi was at the White House and disclosed what she represented as brand new information in relation to Jeffrey Epstein - the existence of tens of thousands of videos featuring little children.”
The video cuts to a clip from the video we saw above in which Bondi stated,
“There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”
It cuts back to O’Keefe saying,
“Now, this is the first time an official has publicly acknowledged that videos of Epstein and his victims exist. What you may not know is just nine days prior, the attorney general had a very similar conversation with a total stranger in a restaurant.”
The video then cuts to footage from a hidden camera in a restaurant. A woman can be heard asking,
“Do you know when the Epstein files are going to get released?”
Bondi, who can be seen seated at a table, says
“Um, we hope soon.”
The other woman asks,
“Okay. So, any dates?”
Bondi answers,
“No. You know what it is? There tens and thousands videos and it's all with little kids. So, they have to go through everyone.”
Returning to O’Keefe, he says,
“In the past, officials have spoken about the quote mountain of evidence in the Epstein case, but they've never previous to that moment acknowledged on the existence of videos of quote little kids.
At this point in the video, they display an email he says they sent to the AG’s office dated May 1, 2025.
You can read where they quote Bondi’s words, “tens of thousands of videos…..with little kids.”
O’Keefe then says,
“Just a few days later, at 2 p.m. on May 1st, our reporter sent the AG's office the text of the recording. We asked why this detail had not been disclosed to the public, but was instead being told to a random stranger at a restaurant.
The attorney general used almost the exact same language as she did with the stranger in the restaurant. Language that we shared with her press office.”
They again show the hidden camera footage wherein Bondi says,
“There are tens of thousands of Yeah. And it's all with little kids.”
They then show Bondi at the press conference the previous day telling the press,
“There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”
O’Keefe then says,
“Now, we hesitated to publish this story, but believe, like we did yesterday, that the public has a right to know. And this one raises serious questions. On one hand, why did our country's highest law enforcement official share this information first not with the American people, but with a self-described nanny at brunch?
But more importantly, why was this information held back in the first place? Does this show that a government apparatus is still working behind the scenes to protect powerful people involved in the scandal? Based upon the response to our Epstein story yesterday, it's clear that the American people want answers and they want accountability.”
As I write this, we know nothing more about the Epstein files than what James O’Keefe has told the world. James O’Keefe has done more with regard to this than the AG of the United States, the Director of the FBI and the deputy Director have done combined. That is why I made the meme below.
O’Keefe Expose’ Concerning Prince Andrew
On May 7, 2025, James O’Keefe posted this /archive/,
WORLD EXCLUSIVE: 'Prince Andrew Was F*ing Underage Girls' — Tape of Royal Family Advisor Exposes Prince Andrew’s Sexual Relations with Minors and Deep Ties to Jeffrey Epstein
It is not as if Prince Andrew was not already suspected of such wrongdoing. However, to hear this from someone so close to him is a lot more than anything so far delivered by the FBI on the question other than the famous image of Prince Andrew, Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell that we saw above in the section on the death of Virginia Giuffre.
Also on May 18, 2025, Bongbingo stated in a post on X /archive here/,
I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise. I’m not asking you to believe me, or not. I’m telling you what exists, and what doesn’t. If new evidence surfaces I’m happy to reevaluate.
Kash & Bongino State About the Trump Assassination Attempts That There's No There There
Starting at 17:09 in this video of the interview on Fox on May 18, 2025, Bingbongo states, with regard to a question about the investigations into the assassination attempts on Trump,
If there was a big, explosive there there, given my history as a secret service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the president, give me one logical, sensible - logical sensible reason we would not have - of you can think of one, there isn't. In some of these cases, the there you're looking for is not there. If it was there, we would have told you.
Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration: Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. That was it. Case closed. Bongino even said he’s “seen the file,” as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.
But that’s not how this works.
I couldn’t tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.
The public doesn’t owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive. In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo’s show torpedoed their credibility.
Epstein wasn’t just another inmate. He was a nexus of corruption, intelligence, and elite abuse — someone whose connections spanned elites, presidents, royalty, billionaires, and spies. His death was either one of the most spectacular security failures in modern history — or something far darker. And no number of official titles or vague references to secret documents should shut down public scrutiny.
Americans have good reason to be suspicious. Epstein’s death was a hall of mirrors from the start. There weren’t just a few oddities; there was an avalanche of contradictions and red flags. Yet Bongino and Patel simply want you to trust what they say their eyes saw.
Nope. Sorry.
- The cameras outside Epstein’s cell mysteriously failed the night of his death.
- Two guards assigned to check on him allegedly fell asleep and didn’t perform their rounds.
- He was taken off suicide watch days after a prior “attempt,” against standard protocol.
- He had no cellmate at the time, though he had had one shortly before.
- The fractures in his hyoid bone and carotid artery were more consistent with strangulation than hanging, according to forensic experts.
- Dr. Michael Baden, a prominent pathologist who observed the autopsy, publicly stated that the evidence pointed to homicide.
- Key documents and surveillance footage have never been released or are said to have disappeared.
- The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provided no meaningful accountability following his death. The director of the BOP, appointed by Attorney General William Barr nine days after Epstein’s death, raises other questions.
Despite all this, the DOJ closed the case quietly and without holding anyone truly accountable.
This isn’t a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern of irregularities so staggering that any reasonable observer would demand real answers.
