GOP senators warn Bondi not to slow-walk release of Epstein files

Republican senators are warning Attorney General Pam Bondi not to slow-walk the public release of records and documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following votes by the House and Senate demanding the documents.

The calls come amid speculation that the Justice Department may cite ongoing investigations or other reasons to hold back material.

Bondi said Wednesday that “new information” obtained by investigators had spurred the Justice Department to reverse its earlier decision to close investigations related to Epstein.

Democrats are warning that new investigations into high-profile associates of Epstein, such as former President Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, could be cited as justification to withhold documents or videos of Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan.

Some Republican lawmakers are warning the Trump administration that keeping back records, including possible footage of people who visited Epstein’s properties, would be a big mistake.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) warned that “people who feel very strongly about this will feel like they’ve been duped” if the Justice Department claims “we can’t release anything because we have an active investigation.”

“I don’t think that that will help calm the suspicions many have harbored for a long while on this,” she said.

She cited the 427-1 vote in the House and the unanimous consent of all 100 senators to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday as a show of overwhelming support to release all of the unclassified Epstein files immediately.

“I think it’s not only congressional intent, it’s overwhelming,” Murkowski said. “When was the last time you saw a vote like that in the House?”

I think you've nailed it, rather. I'll hope. But I won't hold my breath. And I'll keep my powder dry.

SO this is what the hoopla is about. There are likely videos of some rich and powerful folk in that property of his , the ones who he taped to bribe or blackmail

Fascinating. Kind of makes sense now. But it’s still speculation .
