Attorney General Pam Bondi said the FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands of videos of [Jeffrey] Epstein with children or child porn” and there are “hundreds of victims” as she addressed concerns about the delay to the full release of the case files.
“The FBI is diligently going through that,” Bondi told reporters on Wednesday morning, and the volume of evidence explained why more files had not been released so far.
Epstein is the disgraced pedophile financier who took his own life in a New York prison in 2019 as he awaited trial for sex trafficking charges. His wealth and philanthropy made him a well-connected figure across politics, academia, and finance.
But the full extent of his offending is still not publicly known, and the incoming Trump Administration pledged full transparency of the Epstein files.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, had said he feared key Epstein documents would have been shredded before the Trump Administration took office.
“The president ordered them released, the attorney general ordered them released, we all know they have not been released,” Comer told The Benny Show.
The Attorney General ordered them released. We all know they have not been released. One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with Kash Patel and a lot of people, including Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they’re not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition.
I said, “I hope they’re not shredding documents.” But you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released, because my fear—based on what I’ve dealt with in investigations and in communication with this deep state apparatus—is that they’re probably in there shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully someone has a copy of that.
Comer’s gravest concern is the potential involvement of the federal government in Epstein’s operations.
The congressman suggested the Deep State’s actions may not be driven by loyalty to figures like the Clintons, but rather by a desire to protect their own power and avoid disruption.
