The FBI Field Office in New York produced myriad documents pertaining to its criminal probe into child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in a Feb. 17, 2025, letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein” were stored on site there.
Some of these documents were allegedly compromised in a hack years before the Department of Justice began publishing the heavily redacted Epstein files.
The bureau revealed in 2023 that it was investigating a hack of its computer network, which it characterized as an “isolated incident that has been contained.”
Multiple sources briefed on the matter told CNN at the time that FBI officials suspected the incident involved a bureau computer system used in the investigations of images of child sexual exploitation.
