Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday night that some of the federal government’s files on millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could “hopefully” be released on Thursday.
Bondi made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News, saying that she believes the public will “see some Epstein information” on Thursday. When host Jesse Watters asked why releasing the files has taken so long, Bondi said that the names of the more than “250 victims” and their personal information needed to be redacted before the files could be released.
Watters then asked “what kind” of information was going to be released, and whether the public would see “who was on the flights,” referring to the numerous private flights to Epstein’s island where the sexual assault of minors took place. Watters also asked if any information from Epstein’s recordings would be released, as he was known to have cameras throughout his many homes.
“What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” Bondi responded. “It’s pretty sick what that man did – along with his co-defendant.”
Epstein’s “co-defendant” is Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role trafficking underage girls for Epstein to assault.
In July 2024, grand jury documents were released from a 2006 investigation into Epstein’s behavior, revealing that Florida prosecutors were aware Epstein had raped two teenage girls – two years before offering him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to escape serious punishment. The two girls said in the documents that they were paid to give Epstein massages and then engaged in sexual activity with him while they were underage. The documents also include testimony from police officers who interviewed many more girls who alleged similar acts with Epstein.
Two years after this grand jury was convened, Epstein reached a deal with South Florida federal prosecutors that resulted in him pleading guilty to just one state charge of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. He served 13 months in a work-release program, which allowed him to leave jail and go to his office nearly every day. He also served a year of house arrest and was required to register as a sex offender, the Associated Press reported.
The deal led to the 2019 resignation of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who had signed off on it a decade earlier.
Epstein killed himself in 2019 while in federal custody awaiting trial for another sex-trafficking case. It has been alleged that numerous celebrities and politicians — including former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew — were among those who attended his parties.
