Attorney General Pam Bondi says she will release files and flight logs related to the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as soon as Thursday.
Bondi, who said last week that a list of Epstein’s clients was sitting on her desk and under review at the direction of President Trump, gave more details about an upcoming release during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime on Wednesday night. The Fox Host pressed Bondi on when the disclosure would take place and asked: “What’s taking so long to release them?”
“Jesse, there are well over—this will make you sick—200 victims,” Bondi answered, adding that the true figure is “over 250, actually.”

“So we have to make sure their identity is protected and their personal information,” Bondi replied.
“I think tomorrow... You’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office,” she continued.
Watters then asked what kind of information will be published.
“What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot, a lot of information. But it’s pretty sick what that man did,” Bondi answered.
Several prominent Republicans have been calling for the declassification of files about the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
President Trump signed an executive order in January requiring files about the assassinations of former president John F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. to be declassified—Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Trump should “absolutely” include Epstein’s files in those declassifications.
And this week, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the chair of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, began publicly pressuring Bondi to speed up the release of Epstein documents.
President Trump and Epstein had a long relationship, and were friends during the 1990s and early 2000s, though no evidence has ever emerged that he had knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, nor was Trump ever implicated in them.
Trump told New York Magazine in 2002: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.” Epstein, in turn, described himself as Trump’s “closest friend” in 2017.
