Attorney General Pam Bondi had some stern words for new FBI Director Kash Patel, over the release of the “Jeffrey Epstein list.” Reportedly, Bondi sent a strongly-worded letter to Patel on Thursday accusing federal investigators in New York of withholding thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents she has vowed to make public.
“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,” Bondi wrote. “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.”

The “Jeffrey Epstein list” refers to a group of high-profile individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender who was accused of operating a global sex trafficking network.
Over the years, various people have been linked to Epstein through his social circles, private jet, and properties. Some of the most notable figures allegedly associated with Epstein include Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president, who flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times but has denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities. Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has faced allegations of sexual misconduct related to Epstein’s network and was widely scrutinized.
President Donald Trump knew Epstein socially and was photographed with him at events, though he has denied any wrongdoing. Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein, was convicted for her role in aiding his sex trafficking operation.

Alan Dershowitz, a prominent lawyer, has also been linked to Epstein and faced accusations, which he has vehemently denied. While these names and others have been publicly associated with Epstein, it’s crucial to note that not all were involved in his illegal activities. Legal investigations have largely focused on Epstein and his closest associates, with many connections remaining under scrutiny.
Bondi said she asked for the complete Epstein case file before Patel became the head of the FBI and received around 200 pages of documents. This is much fewer than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit linked to Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner and convicted accomplice.
