Attorney General Pam Bondi has undercut President Donald Trump’s claim that the Jeffrey Epstein files are a hoax, admitting there is “abundant public interest” in providing Americans with details of the investigation into his sex trafficking operations.

“Attention given to the Epstein and Maxwell cases has recently intensified in the wake of the July 6, 2025 Memorandum announcing the conclusions of the Government’s review into the investigation,” they wrote in the memorandum.

“There is undoubtedly a clearly expressed interest from the public in Jeffrey Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes,” it adds.

no victim testified before the grand jury--which would have indicted on very little beyond FBI declarations.

Just more bullshit from blonde bimbo Bondi.
