IN FULL:
Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that files related to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein have still not been released because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is still reviewing them, dismissing claims by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) that files are missing.
“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,” AG Bondi told the press. “It’s just the volume, and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that,” she said, adding that she would call Comer to discuss the matter with him.
Rep. Comer, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, recently said he believes the relevant documents have “probably” been destroyed, and that he warned AG Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel that this would happen if they did not move quickly to disclose them.
