Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing a ticking clock as lawmakers demand the immediate release of all documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Failure to comply, they warn, could land her in legal trouble.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) delivered a stark warning in a video posted Thursday. “We will see thousands of documents that we should have seen decades ago,” Khanna said. “Let me be very clear. We need a full release. Anyone who tampers with these documents or conceals documents or engages in excessive redaction will be prosecuted because of obstruction of justice.”
Khanna emphasized that accountability applies to everyone, no matter their position. “We will prosecute individuals, regardless of whether they’re the attorney general or a career or political appointee,” he said. “We need full transparency and justice for the survivors.”
The push for disclosure crosses party lines. On Friday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) added that “all” of the Epstein files must be released by the end of the day, reflecting growing bipartisan impatience with the slow pace of transparency.
For Khanna and Massie, the message is clear: full disclosure is non-negotiable. With thousands of documents still under wraps, the stakes are high — and Bondi has just hours to comply.
Tomorrow, my bill will force the Trump Administration to release the Epstein files.
