Attorney General Pam Bondi claims thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were withheld by the FBI, following the first release of records Bondi said would include “a lot of names” associated with the disgraced financier, though the initial files lacked bombshell information.

Bondi suggested in a Thursday letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that more records were recently discovered. She ordered the FBI to hand over “the full and complete Epstein files” to her by Friday morning, and directed Patel to “conduct an immediate investigation” into why her order to the FBI to turn over all documents was not followed.

Thursday on the social media platform X marked one of the most volatile days in recent memory. What happens next will likely determine the success of Attorney General Pam Bondi's tenure as America's chief law enforcement officer.
