U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has strongly hinted that long-awaited documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender, could be released as early as today.

In a recent interview, Bondi suggested that her office is on the verge of making public a trove of information, including flight logs and names tied to Epstein’s notorious activities, signaling a major step toward transparency in one of the most high-profile criminal cases in recent history.
Speaking on Fox News with host Jesse Watters late Wednesday night, Bondi teased the disclosure, stating, “Breaking news right now, you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office.”
She emphasized that the release would include “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” while underscoring the disturbing nature of Epstein’s crimes. “It’s pretty sick what that man did,” Bondi remarked, alluding to the scale of Epstein’s trafficking network, which ensnared over 250 victims.
The Attorney General’s comments come amid growing bipartisan pressure from lawmakers, including Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who have vocally demanded the release of Epstein-related files.
Bondi acknowledged the painstaking process of redacting sensitive information to protect victims’ identities, explaining the delay: “We have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information [is secure].” Despite these efforts, she expressed confidence that the public would see the documents today, barring any last-minute hurdles.
The anticipated release follows President Donald Trump’s directive last month, via executive order, urging federal agencies to prepare top-secret documents for disclosure, including those pertaining to Epstein. Trump had promised during his 2024 campaign to unseal the so-called “Epstein files” if re-elected, a pledge Bondi has championed since her confirmation as Attorney General earlier this month. “Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises,” she said previously, reinforcing her commitment to fulfilling this mandate.
Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, was known to have mingled with influential figures from Wall Street, royalty, and Hollywood. His private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” and his properties, reportedly equipped with surveillance systems, have long been subjects of speculation regarding the extent of his network. Bondi stopped short of confirming whether today’s release would include surveillance footage or a definitive “client list,” but her remarks suggest a significant unveiling is imminent.
The Attorney General also addressed resistance from individuals named in the documents, some of whom are reportedly fighting to keep their identities concealed. “If people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, they have no legal basis to do so unless they’re a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant,” Bondi asserted, citing legal precedent and support from prominent criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos.
