Trump and Bondi slammed for 'hiding' Epstein client list before Virginia Giuffre's death
Irish Times. Yes Irish! ^ | Kyle O'Sullivan

There have been fresh calls for President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to fulfil their promise of releasing 'the full' Jeffrey Epstein files after the tragic death of Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre, known for her allegations against British royal Prince Andrew and her description of herself as Jeffrey Epstein's teenage "sex slave," died by suicide at the age of 41, just weeks after narrowly surviving a horrific car accident.

Revealing the news on Friday, Giufre's family described her as a "fierce warrior" and "the light that lifted so many survivors."

Giuffre accused billionaire Epstein of trafficking her for sex when she was only 16-years-old. He died in prison in August 2019 while on trial for sex trafficking charges.

Following Giuffre's tragic passing, there has been an outpouring of anger towards Trump and Bondi over their failure to release all of the Epstein file.

The first wave of files posted on the Justice Department website have largely been circulating in the public domain for years and didn’t include any new bombshells about the sex trafficking case that has been a favorite subject of conspiracy theorists.

The small batch of documents included copies of flight logs from Epstein’s private plane, which have long been available in multiple court cases, and a heavily redacted photocopy of an address book purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell, which has been cited in media accounts for many years.

The Justice Department also released a blacked-out list of masseuses and an evidence list showing entries for more than 150 items, including nude images, massage tables, sex toys and other items.

There wasn’t any indication whether the list was from Epstein’s case, Maxwell’s case or some other investigation.

Bondi had teased the documents during a Fox News appearance, declaring: "Breaking news right now: You’re going to see some Epstein information released."

While Trump, who was in office when Epstein was arrested in 2019, campaigned on the promise that he’d seek to open up the government’s files.

But the rollout of the documents — which were first given to political commentators at the White House hours earlier in binders that read “The Epstein Files: Phase I” — showed the administration’s penchant for showmanship and preference for conservative influencers with large social media followings.

The Justice Department didn’t post them on its website until hours later, along with a note downplaying their significance. “The first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government,” the note said.

The documents did not satisfy online sleuths eager for fresh details about Epstein’s crimes and his connections to famous people, which have long been the subject of intense media scrutiny.

Bondi suggested in a scathing 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.

The second wave has still yet to be released.

Giuffre also accused Prince Andrew of sexual misconduct. She said she was forced to have sex with him on three occasions when she was just 17 years old, including one incident in London. Prince Andrew has always vehemently denied these allegations. He agreed to an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022, reportedly worth $16 million, that made no admission of liability.

She died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years.

"It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia," her family told NBC News. "She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

"Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.

"In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight."

They clearly said that they would release the Epstein files.
Then they clearly found out how embarrassing the Epstein files actually are.
They are clearly deciding how much they can hide from the public.

It’s not a mystery.

The sex didn’t kill her. The hounding did.

That, or there are less files left than there should be, already cleaned up by the deep state FBI/CIA.

Must be a lot of big donors and Congressmen in the files. Releasing them will likely complicate getting President Trump’s agenda through the swamp.

Willing to wait. Three months in to administration of four years. Lots has happened, and lots will happen. President Trump will be "slammed" from many, many sides.

Notice this article was from the Irish Times. Got a horse in the race to "slam."

I think you are right.

Powers that be higher up, decided that it would be too explosive to release this information publicly.

Not a Mystery-—
If a Court case as large as this with the Heavy Hitters as indicated is to be successfully Prosecuted -—
All Charges Brought Must be perfectly assembled.

We will never know the names of the men who flew to that island and raped those underage girls. Never.

Well, maybe in a few hundred years.

It’s wasteful to release the files to the public. Far better to hold them over the respective heads of those who are in them and thereby control their behavior going forward. That’s a lot more efficient than trying to get convictions through the compromised and treasonous judicial system we have now in this country. And anyway, it’s what J. Edgar Hoover would have done, and with great efficacy, I might add.

Bingo.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

wording of the family statement is odd, sounds like some thing not quite right.

No it didn't; the final straw was most probably her lousy marital relationship.

OTOH...she has been unstable for most of her life.

Both Trump and Bondi turned 180 degrees on the Epstein files after the New York FBI whistleblower gave them the truckload of documents. They prefer that we forget they brought it up.

The FBI has had how many years to ‘Disappear’ or ‘Lose’ the evidence?

I'm not buying this excuse anymore. DC needs to be ripped apart and humiliated. The old ways and methods are what got us here.

I think the narrow House and Senate majorities are at stake, and Trump was reminded of that.
