Pam Bondi stood at a podium today and sounded like somebody who had unplugged the personality chip from her body. She kept giving the same sentence again and again, no matter what the question was, no matter how directly the press pushed her. I mean, it was like watching a robot glitch on live television. And so they went in there and they said, what can we say legally in case we don't release these because we don't plan on doing it? And then they said, this is the answer that will get you through all of this.
If you release them or not release them, come up with an investigation, find an excuse. It's just say we're going to do what the law allows or we're going to follow the law. And so far, the law has not been presented because the president hasn't signed it. And I believe in the Justice Department, which takes it off of Trump's back because in the Justice Department can decide. Pam Bondi, now listen, listen. She gets asked a series of questions, and you tell me, as my grandma used to say, now, honey, you tell me if you see what is afoot here. Y'all ready for this? Go.
New investigation by the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney prevent the department from releasing all of the remaining files.
So we have released 33,000, over 33,000 Epstein documents to the Hill and we'll continue to follow the law and to have maximum transparency. Also, we will always encourage all victims to come forward.
What are the next steps, Madam Attorney General, for the DOJ regarding what we assume President Trump will sign into law with the Epstein files? Is this going to be on the Justice Department website? What are you doing here over the next 30 days as we understand it?
We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency while protecting victims.
When you say follow the law, Attorney General, do you mean that you will provide all the files by 30 days?
We will follow the law. The law passed both chambers last evening. It has not yet been signed, but we will continue to follow the law again while protecting victims, but also providing maximum transparency.
Madam Attorney General, the DOJ statement earlier this year saying that the files would not release mentioned the fact that the review of the documents and the evidence did not suggest that any additional investigation of third parties was warranted. What changed since then that you launched this investigation?
Information that has come for information.
