Epstein Files: New Delivery and Ongoing Scrutiny
On March 8, 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that a significant new batch of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents had been delivered to the Justice Department, reigniting focus on her handling of the case. This follows her March 4 revelation on Fox News with Sean Hannity that a “truckload of evidence” from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York had arrived at FBI headquarters, totaling “thousands of pages.” Bondi promised swift public release, stating the FBI was reviewing files “as fast as possible.” This came after a February 27 flop where her much-hyped “Epstein Files: Phase 1” release—handed to conservative influencers at the White House—contained mostly old news, drawing ire from Trump allies like Laura Loomer, who called her a “liar” on X.
The latest move appears to be a response to that backlash and her March 4 claim that the FBI had withheld documents despite her orders. On March 8, posts on X suggested Bondi was “making her move,” with some speculating it could salvage her credibility. However, no official release has occurred as of midnight March 9, leaving uncertainty about whether this batch will deliver the promised bombshells or further disappoint.
