Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a stern letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, alleging that the bureau’s New York field office has withheld crucial documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Attorney General Pam Bondi set a firm deadline for the FBI to deliver all pertinent materials this Friday morning.

She later discovered from a source that the FBI’s New York Field Office possessed thousands more pages.

While Bondi has promised to release a new batch of documents related to the Epstein case, it is yet to be seen if these will offer significant new insights. She has assured that sensitive details concerning victims will be redacted before public release to protect their privacy and dignity.
