Is Pam Bondi Trying to Use the Courts to Justify Withholding Epstein Files? [View all]

Allison Gill

Greetings, and welcome to all the new subscribers! I wanted to draw your attention to a small but not insignificant matter in the courts regarding the release of Epstein materials.

This past July, Todd Blanche filed motions with the court to release banal transcripts of one FBI agent’s grand jury testimony from the 2019 Epstein sex trafficking case. That move by the DOJ came just days after the explosive Wall Street Journal report about Donald’s drawing of a naked young girl in the “birthday book”. It seemed to me that the DOJ was trying to seem as though they were being transparent by asking the court to release some files when they knew the court would likely say no.

The court called them out for it, too.

Judge Berman in New York responded to that July request in August, saying that a “significant and compelling reason” to deny the request and keep the transcripts sealed was that information contained in the transcripts “pales in comparison” to investigative information and materials already in the Justice Department’s possession.
