Pam Bondi Defies President Trump’s Directive to Release the Epstein Files

Embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi just did the unthinkable.

President Trump won’t be happy.

And that’s because Pam Bondi just gave Trump this bad answer about the Epstein files.

The furor surrounding the Justice Department’s refusal to fulfill President Trump’s promise of complete transparency regarding the Epstein files isn’t dying down anytime soon.

President Trump spoke to reporters before departing the White House, where he tried to quell the anger among his supporters by stating that Attorney General Bondi should release all credible evidence from the Epstein files.

“And in terms of the credibility of the different things that they’ve seen, and I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden — and you know, we and we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all of the different things that we had to go through,” Trump declared.

“We’ve gone through years of it, but she’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her,” Trump added. “Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.”

Later in the day, Bondi held a press conference where a reporter asked if she would follow through on President Trump’s directive to release all credible Epstein files.

Bondi played dumb and said she didn’t hear what Trump had said and said the Justice Department’s memo that claimed Epstein didn’t have a client list, didn’t blackmail anyone and that he killed himself spoke for itselg.

“Our memo speaks for itself. I haven’t seen all of his statements today. Thank you!” Bondi replied.

MAJOR BREAKING! Just ONE HOUR after Trump tells reporters that Pam Bondi will be releasing more Epstein files, Pam Bondi DISPUTES Trump’s claim: “Our memo speaks for itself. I haven’t seen all of his statements today. Thank you!”

Bondi saying the memo “speaks for itself” is the whole issue.

The memo doesn’t address questions about how Epstein made his money and how the Justice Department claims there are thousands of victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, but that no other pedophiles will face criminal charges.

Leaving it up to Bondi to decide what evidence is credible for release after this fiasco also won’t sit well.

It’s now known that the video the Justice Department released which it claimed confirmed Epstein killed himself is missing three minutes of footage and was edited together from two different files in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The only way for this story to go away is for Bondi to come clean release all the files and follow the ten steps outlined by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk:

1) OPR DOJ report should be released immediately per

@MikeBenzCyber

2) DOJ should move to unseal all the Maxwell grand jury testimony

3) Bring Acosta in for a full interview to find out what he knew about Epstein working for foreign intelligence

4) Release non CSAM underlying facts around Epstein indictment in 2019 that happened under the Trump DOJ

5) Need a full report as to why 2007 Bush/Comey investigation of Epstein was so butchered 6) Green-light Maxwell to speak freely and learn what she knows

7) Get to bottom of how Epstein got his $. Gather bank records and financial statements.

8) Release the names of prisoners on the prison floor night Epstein was murdered. Overrule the prisoner privacy rules.

9) Get the missing minutes of the prison footage.

10) Press conference asap to explain any confusion.
