A top Republican in Congress is making the bombshell claim that FBI files on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein may have been destroyed, possibly by the federal government.
U.S. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told journalist Benny Johnson on Tuesday: “I don’t think the Department of Justice has [the Epstein files] – or at least the attorney general does not have them – or she would have turned them over.
”The president ordered them released. The attorney general ordered them released. We all know they have not been released,” Comer continued.
“One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with [FBI Director] Kash Patel and a lot of people, including [White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy] Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they’re not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition.
“I said, ‘I hope they’re not shredding documents.’ But you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released, because my fear – based on what I’ve dealt with in investigations and in communication with this deep state apparatus – is that they’re probably in there shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully someone has a copy of that.”
Rep. James Comer Drops Epstein File BOMBSHELL: The Files Have Been Destroyed, Doesn’t Think Pam Bondi and Kash Patel Have Them, “I Warned Them.”:

In response to Comer’s conjecture the FBI may be “shredding documents” relating to the Epstein case, Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that’s not the case.
So are there documents missing?
“No,” said Bondi. “The FBI, they’re reviewing tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.”
“The FBI is diligently going through that,” she continued, noting the large volume of files. She added: “There are hundreds of victims.”
“And no one victim will ever get released,” she said. “It’s just the volume, and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that.”
Bondi said she would get in touch with Comer about his theory.
“I haven’t seen that statement, but I’ll call him later and find out,” she indicated.
While Bondi released a “first phase” of documents Feb. 27, fulfilling the Trump campaign promise to release them all has not yet happened.
The failure to release more information has elicited criticism from several lawmakers and conservative commentators alike.
