Pam Bondi, Trump's new AG, may finally release Epstein files
• By JOHN MICHAEL RAASCH and LAURA PARNABYBondi, 59, told Fox News earlier this month that the documents unsealed so far in the disgraced financier's case have been 'so slow to come out', while indicating that she wanted more of them to be published.
She added that the delay could be down to defendants in the documents fighting it out in court to try to keep their names anonymous - but they likely have no legal basis to do this.
'If people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private, they have no legal basis to do so unless they're a child, a victim or a cooperating defendant in a potential case against Ghislaine Maxwell,' Bondi said in the January 3 interview.
GOP lawmakers are also lobbying Trump to release all the files, after he signed an executive order to divulge all files related to John F. Kennedy's murder.
Tennessee Republicans Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Tim Burchett revealed to DailyMail.com they are pushing to have evidence on the nefarious financier unveiled.
The senator has been advocating for the sealed Epstein documents to be released for years, an effort Burchett joined early on.
Blackburn has pushed to uncover unredacted versions of Epstein's flight logs and an unredacted version of Ghislaine Maxwell's 'little black book' full of contacts and addresses - an effort she's now seeking Trump to act on.
And she's advocating for the Trump administration's Department of Justice to release additional evidence like prison footage and communications leading up to Epstein's death.
'Jeffrey Epstein built a disgusting global sex trafficking network that caused irreparable damage to countless women,' she told DailyMail.com in a statement.
'Americans deserve to know exactly who was affiliated with this network. This is not about celebrities - this is about what happened to victims and survivors.'
Burchett similarly told DailyMail.com by text he too is re-upping his fight for the Epstein files now that Trump is in office and Republicans hold control.
The president has been open to releasing classified documents having just signed an executive order to release the JFK files in addition to some on Martin Luther King Jr.
On Thursday evening Trump signed an executive order that directs his Director of National Intelligence to put together a plan within 15 days for the full release of documents about the JFK assassination.
