What is the controversy surrounding the Epstein files?
Attorney General Bondi says this is just phase one. She's promising to open the government files on Jeffrey Epstein. But despite the hype, most of what she released so far had been made public years ago. Attorney General Pam Bondi went on TV to trumpet the release of this material, teasing a big reveal.
What you're going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.
But much of the material had been circulating in the public domain for years, including pilot logs from Epstein's plane and his so-called black book of names and addresses. Several conservative media figures were given early access during a visit to the White House, showing off binders and posing for pictures, some later posting how underwhelmed they were.
She knows that she's a liar. She knows that she's not releasing any information that's actually new in nature. It's just a bunch of propaganda. It's just a bunch of nonsense and red meat fodder to the base so that they can feel like our DOJ is less corrupt than the Biden DOJ. It's a big black eye. We were told that we were going to clean up the deep state. We're getting rid of the deep state. We're firing all the corrupt officials at the DOJ, you guys. We're cleaning house at the FBI. And now it's just business as usual. Like, we might as well just have the Biden appointees, Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray right now, right? Because, well, they didn't release the Epstein files. So what are we getting here? How is it any different so far than Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland?
That was the voice of Florida woman and right-wing influencer Laura Loomer having a MAGA meltdown over this, what was called a complete disappointment, a fraud, a nothing burger release of the long-promised... Epstein files much fanfare by Trump's new attorney general, Florida woman, Pam Bondi.
Who is criticizing the release of Epstein files?
You have Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Florida woman, a congresswoman from Florida, saying this is not what we are. The American people ask for and a complete disappointment. You've got Trump supporters, including Loomer, fuming, demanding support. AG Pampani resign over this debacle. Steve Bannon calling it this Jeffrey Epstein file release a fiasco by the Trump DOJ. This is I got lots to say about this because I am as close to a public records absolutist as you can possibly find. Obviously, there needs to be redactions to protect victims or minors or national security. But otherwise, I think we're entitled to it all. And what was released here, as far as I can tell, is not only. material that has been previously available for a great number of years, but it was actually less than what was previously released because it was redacted and we had actually previously seen unredacted versions of some of the records that Pam Bondi released. Last week.
So we're talking with Julie K. Brown, the famed investigative journalist from the Miami Herald, whose journalism ultimately led to, I guess I could say, the re-prosecution or ultimately the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, who had been kind of let off scot-free prior to her revisiting this case and bringing it all up again. Julie, am I on the right track here? Let's start there. What was actually, quote unquote, What was the what was the bombshell here from Pam Bondi in the long promised Epstein files?
Well, the bombshell was that, you know, we have an attorney general that doesn't even understand the case file or the case that she's speaking about with on national television. I mean, she's she was saying days before that she had the so-called file on her desk. Well, this case is spanned 20 years. There is no way that it would fit into one file she could fit on her desk.
