Attorney General Pam Bondi “scrambled” to find Epstein material to appease the far right over the failed Phase 1 release of the files, but “found little”, according to a report.

Since vowing to carry out President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding the government make documents related to cases of national interest public, including Jeffrey Epstein, Bondi has been under intense pressure, particularly from the right, to release the files on the disgraced financier.

Epstein was accused of sex trafficking of minors in a decades-long scheme. Epstein, who had links to a number of high-profile names, died behind bars awaiting trial in 2019.

A botched release of the “Phase 1” files saw MAGA influencers descend on the White House for what turned out to be a photo opportunity. Right-wing influencers posed, clutching binders containing information that was already in the public domain.

3. "to appease MAGA"

It would be like trying to appease rabid rats.

4. All of us would be shocked

If any such information existed that it wasn't destroyed given who was I charge at the time.

Although, like the JFK material, it turns out the information people claimed for years exists, never actually existed.
