Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed in a bombshell interview with Sean Hannity this past Monday that Kash Patel had finally gotten a truckload of Epstein documents Southern District of New York (SDNY) who was hiding them from the Republicans who now control the executive branch. Earlier Bondi released 120 pages that contained nothing that was already publically available. Then a whistleblower came forward and told Bondi that the SDNY was hidng thousands of pages from her.
Bondi said:
“I was assured 120 pages was all there was. I kept saying, ‘There has to be more.’ Kash Patel asked the same thing and got the same line. Then a whistleblower tipped me off—SDNY was sitting on thousands of pages.”
Transcript with Sean Hannity
Sean Hannity:
Let me start with the Epstein case because there was an expectation that this was going to be bigger. You had the same expectation.
Pam Bondi:
We all did. And the FBI handed over a couple hundred pages of documents. But, you know, Sean, I gave them a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything.
A source had told me where the documents were being kept—Southern District of New York. Shock! So we got them all—hopefully all of them—Friday at 8 a.m. Thousands of pages of documents.
I have the FBI going through them, and Kash is also… Now that we have Kash here, it’s a game changer, of course. Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.
Sean Hannity:
I want to be clear because I think people got frustrated. They were expecting more. You were expecting more, and then less than 24 hours before the release, you got a whistleblower that confirmed there were way more documents that they were supposed to turn over. And then you found out just before that?
Pam Bondi:
Well, sure. And you’re looking at these documents going, “These aren’t all the Epstein files.” You know, there were flight logs. There were names, victims’ names. And we’re going, “Where’s the rest of the stuff?” And that’s what the FBI had turned over to us.
Then a source said, “Whoa, all this evidence is sitting in the Southern District of New York.” So based on that, I gave them the deadline—Friday at 8 a.m. A truckload of evidence arrived. It’s now in the possession of the FBI.
Kash is going to get me—and himself, really—a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld.
And, you know, we’re going to go through it as fast as we can, but also very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein, because there are a lot of victims.
Sean Hannity:
Well, you had identified in phase one over 200—254, okay? Now, is that the only thing that would be redacted? Will everything else be made public once you get it in your possession?
Pam Bondi:
Yeah. The FBI obviously hasn’t had time to look at the thousands of pages of documents they just received Friday. But Kash has a team going through them. It’s always about protecting the victims. But you know what? We believe in transparency, and America has the right to know.
The Biden administration sat on these documents. No one did anything with them. And why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report on that. You know, sadly, these people don’t believe in transparency. But I think, more unfortunately, a lot of them don’t believe in honesty.
And it’s a new day.
Sean Hannity:
It’s a new administration, and everything’s going to come out to the public. The public has a right to know. Americans have a right to know.
Sean Hannity:
And that goes the same with the JFK files?
Pam Bondi:
JFK files, Martin Luther King—yep, absolutely.
Sean Hannity:
Some people might not understand the need to redact certain information. In the case of a victim, that should be pretty obvious. But what are the other things that might need to be redacted?
Pam Bondi:
Of course—national security. Some grand jury information, which is always going to be confidential. But we’ll see. Let’s go through them as fast as we can and get them out to the American people. The American people have a right to know—not only about this, but also about Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and all these cases that the Biden administration has just sat on for years.
It’s not just sad. It’s infuriating that these people thought they could sit on this information. But they can’t. It’s a new day, and we believe in transparency. It’s going to come out.
And when we redact things, Sean, we’re not just going to pull pages out like they used to do. If something’s redacted, you’ll know the line, and you’ll know why it’s redacted—like a victim’s name or identifying information.
