Mystery surrounds the Jeffrey Epstein files after Bondi claims ‘tens of thousands’ of videos

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.”

The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that Bondi hyped angered elements of Trump’s base by failing to deliver new bombshells and as administration officials who had promised to unlock supposed secrets of the so-called government “deep state” struggle to fulfill that pledge.

Yet weeks after Bondi’s remarks, it remains unclear what she was referring to.

The Associated Press spoke with lawyers and law enforcement officials in criminal cases of Epstein and socialite former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell who said they hadn’t seen and didn’t know of a trove of recordings like what Bondi described. Indictments and detention memos do not reference the existence of videos of Epstein with children, and neither was charged with possession of child sex abuse material even though that offense would have been much easier to prove than the sex trafficking counts they faced.

Incoming… CIA to Conduct Largest Mass Firing Since 1977

The CIA is planning to conduct its largest mass firing since 1977, according to The New York Times.

According to The Times, the CIA is firing officers working on “recruiting and diversity.”

And more firings are to come.

This comes one day after The New York Times reported that President Trump will fire 6,000 IRS workers.

The Times reported that the majority of the terminations are employees hired by the Biden Regime.

The New York Times reported:

The C.I.A. has moved to dismiss an unspecified number of officers who were working on recruiting and diversity issues, according to former officials, in what would be one of the largest mass firings in the agency’s history.

The possible purge of the officers comes as the agency moves to comply with the spirit of President Trump’s executive order banning efforts to diversify the federal work force.

The C.I.A. on Friday began calling in officers who had been put on administrative leave and telling them to resign or be fired, but a federal court soon halted that action. A judge in the Eastern District of Virginia is scheduled to hold a hearing on Monday to consider a temporary restraining order against the agency.

In a court filing on Thursday, the government lawyers said that John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, could seek to fire more people, following the White House executive order ending diversity hiring. A lawyer for the officers, Kevin Carroll, said the filing suggested the firings were only beginning.
