AG Bondi PRESSED on Epstein investigation as files to come out
On the Epstein files, does the new investigation by the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney
prevent the department from releasing all of the remaining files?
So we have released 33,000, over 33,000 Epstein documents to the Hill and we'll continue to follow
the law and to have maximum transparency. Also we will always encourage all victims to come forward.
What are the next steps, Madam Attorney General, for the DOJ regarding what we assume President
Trump will sign into law with the Epstein files? Is this going to be on the Justice Department
website? What are you doing here over the next 30 days as we understand it?
We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency while protecting victims.
When you say follow the law, Madam Attorney General, do you mean that you will
provide all the files by 30 days?
We will follow the law. The law passed both chambers last evening. It has not yet been
signed, but we will continue to follow the law again while protecting victims,
but also providing maximum transparency.
Madam Attorney General, the DOJ statement earlier this year saying that the files would not release
mentioned the fact that the review of the documents and the evidence did not suggest that
any additional investigation of third parties was warranted.
What changed since then that you launched this investigation?
Information that has come for information. There's information that new information,
additional information, and again we will continue to follow the law to investigate any leads. If
there are any victims, we encourage all victims to come forward and we will continue to provide
maximum transparency under the law.
The issue with the new information that you just indicated, is the department seeking
information perhaps from the Epstein estate because Mr. Blanche did not have that information
when he interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell? What new information and would you limit the new
investigation to just those named persons that the president talked about or is this a broad,
open-ended investigation? I would refer to the Deputy Attorney General's post that he put out
on X and we're not going to say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation
in the Southern District of New York. You're on point.
