Attorney General Pam Bondi says 'some Epstein information' will be released Thursday
LOS ANGELES - Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced the scheduled release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The release, set for Thursday, is expected to include flight logs and names of individuals associated with Epstein.
Bondi emphasized the importance of protecting the identities of over 200 victims involved.
What they're saying:
"Breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office," Bondi stated during an interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters on Wednesday night. "This will make you sick," she added, highlighting the gravity of the contents.
Bondi noted that the delay in releasing the documents was due to efforts to redact sensitive information to protect victims' privacy.
The forthcoming release has garnered significant attention, with bipartisan calls for transparency. Lawmakers, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), have publicly urged Bondi to disclose the documents. Blackburn emphasized the public's right to know, stating, "The American people deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network."
