Attorney General Pam Bondi Responds to Rep. James Comer’s Bombshell Allegation Regarding the Epstein Files

Attorney General Pam Bondi is speaking out about a stunning allegation from House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) yesterday regarding the Epstein files.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Comer revealed what may be the most damning development yet in the fight to uncover the truth behind Jeffrey Epstein’s sinister global sex-trafficking and blackmail network during an interview with Benny Johnson: the Epstein files may have already been destroyed—and the federal government might be complicit.

Comer, who has spearheaded numerous high-profile investigations into Biden family corruption and the weaponization of federal agencies, made it clear that he believes the Department of Justice no longer has the files, if it ever did. He also thinks the files have already been destroyed to cover up the deep state.

“I don’t think the Department of Justice has (the Epstein files)—or at least the Attorney General does not have them—or she would have turned them over,” Comer told Johnson. “The President ordered them released.”

“The Attorney General ordered them released. We all know they have not been released,” he added. “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.”

Bondi responded to Comer’s bombshell this morning outside the White House after a reporter asked about it.

“The FBI, they’re reviewing, tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims,” she said while scoffing.

“And no one victim will ever get released,” she added. “It’s just the volume, and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that.”

Bondi then said she would be in touch with Comer.

“I haven’t seen that statement, but I’ll call him later and find out,” she said.

Rep. James Comer Claims Epstein Files May Have Been DESTROYED — Accuses Federal Government of Possible Cover-Up

In a new interview with Benny Johnson, House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) revealed what may be the most damning development yet in the fight to uncover the truth behind Jeffrey Epstein’s sinister global sex-trafficking and blackmail network: the Epstein files may have already been destroyed—and the federal government might be complicit.

Comer, who has spearheaded numerous high-profile investigations into Biden family corruption and the weaponization of federal agencies, made it clear: he believes the Department of Justice no longer has the files—if it ever did.

Comer believes the files are already destroyed to cover up the deep state.

“I don’t think the Department of Justice has [the Epstein files]—or at least the Attorney General does not have them—or she would have turned them over. The President ordered them released.

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.

The Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), has been relentless in its pursuit of transparency, but Comer revealed that Luna is “pretty frustrated” by the stonewalling.

And I hope we find out, because our task force, led by Anna Paulina Luna—you’ve had her on your show many times—has done everything. I mean, she’s relentless, she’s persistent, and she’s pretty frustrated right now that these files haven’t been released, even though the President and the Attorney General have ordered them released.

But it’s like I told Anna, the same thing I told Patel and everybody else: you assume that somebody in the deep state said, “Okay, we’ll just put these in a file back here—this incriminating evidence on everybody—and maybe the next administration can do whatever they want to do with it.” That’s unfortunately the way it’s supposed to work, but it hasn’t worked with this deep state.

Comer’s gravest concern is the potential involvement of the federal government in Epstein’s operations.

White House Says It Has “No Timeline” for Releasing Epstein Files

The White House admitted it has “no specific timeline” for releasing the remaining Jeffrey Epstein files.

It can be recalled that last month, President Donald Trump was asked point-blank about the long-awaited release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein during a swearing-in ceremony for Paul Atkins as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A reporter asked, “When can we expect the Epstein documents to be released?”

President Trump responded calmly but pointedly: “I don’t know. I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know.”

During an interview on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, Comer accused Pam Bondi’s DOJ of stonewalling the release of Epstein files.

Speaking about the newly formed Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — which is investigating major scandals including the Epstein files, the JFK assassination, and the 9/11 coverups — Comer exposed the alarming pattern of bureaucratic resistance he has encountered.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has also intensified her demands for Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein client list, citing the recent deaths of two victims and a growing erosion of public trust in the Department of Justice (DOJ).

On February 25, 2025, TGP detailed Luna’s public confrontation with the Attorney General, noting that Luna had sent letters to the DOJ on February 11 and 19, requesting updates on the declassification process.

Bondi has repeatedly claimed she is reviewing the Epstein files, stating on Fox News that the documents are “sitting on my desk right now” and that their release is a directive from President Trump.

However, her promises have yet to materialize into the full disclosure demanded by Luna and her allies.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Bondi’s initial release was met with backlash, particularly after conservative influencers received binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1,” which contained little new information.

Luna clarified that neither she nor her task force had been consulted on the release.

The documents, consisting primarily of Epstein’s address book, fell short of the comprehensive client list demanded by lawmakers and the public.

In March, during an interview with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on OANN, Luna announced that she is not confident about the Epstein client list release.

Sick: The Child Prostitution Fight That’s Tearing California Democrats Apart

There’s a mind-blowing battle playing out in Sacramento among the Democrats who dominate California politics.  We told you this week about how these same Democrats quietly killed a bipartisan bill, without debate, that would have implemented the successful reading instruction program that has allowed Mississippi students to overtake California kids in early literacy.  They did so at the furious behest of California’s anti-education, anti-child teachers unions, who are among the deep-pocketed left-wing special interest groups who rule the party that rules the state.  This maneuver even offended the leftist editors of the leftist San Francisco Chronicle, but it’s business as usual in the leftist state.  If that weren’t bad enough, Democrats have chosen to double down on cartoonish evil — and I don’t use that word lightly — by debating over whether purchasing children for sex should be a felony.

Georgia Former Democrat Congressional Candidate Who Called for Trump’s Assassination ARRESTED in Multi-State Child Sex Trafficking Sting

Carl Sprayberry — a former Democrat candidate for Georgia’s 139th House District — has been arrested as part of a sweeping, multi-agency child sex trafficking operation known as “Operation Lights Out.”

The sting, conducted between April 25 and April 28, resulted in the arrest of 19 suspects accused of attempting to exploit children online, according to WTVM.

Sprayberry, 32, who once ran for state office and publicly called for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post, is among those charged with human trafficking.

In February 2025, Sprayberry tweeted:

“Donald Trump has committed an act of High Treason. Should Congress refuse to take action, he will be killed by the people, as per the Second Amendment’s existence.”

He followed up with another chilling post, implying that a Secret Service agent “should shoot him,” referring to President Trump, and declared, “It’s time to kill Trump.”

Statements like these are not just dangerous—they are criminal. Sprayberry should have been immediately arrested by the Secret Service. How someone openly threatening a President remained free — until now.

California Democrats Block Bill to Make Sex Trafficking of Minors a Felony — Again

California Democrats in the State Assembly are once again blocking a bill that would make the sex trafficking of minors a felony — this time for victims age 16 and 17 — preferring instead to give prosecutors discretion.

Notably, some of those prosecutors would be George Soros-backed prosecutors who have avoided enforcing the law in the name of “criminal justice reform,” and whom voters have begun to oust across the state.

The blocking effort is the latest chapter in a saga that began in 2023. As Breitbart News reported at the time, Republican State Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) had introduced a bill to make sex trafficking of minors a “serious felony.” It passed unanimously in the State Senate, but Democrats on the State Assembly’s Public Safety Committee blocked the bill, since they did not want to increase criminal penalties generally.

Faced with public embarrassment, Democrats struck a deal in 2024 with Grove, under which the bill would advance but only if it was limited to victims under the age of 16. Now, a Democrat, State Assemblymember Maggy Krell (D-Sacramento), is trying to make trafficking minors aged 16 and 17 a felony, too — and fellow Democrats are refusing to allow the bill to advance.

Sacramento-area NBC affiliate KCRA reported Monday:

California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee are blocking a proposal that would make it a felony to purchase 16 and 17-year-old children for sex.

Assemblyman Nick Shultz, the Democratic chairman of the committee, confirmed AB 379, a bill to crack down on the consumers of the child sex trafficking industry, will move forward on Tuesday, but without the proposed felony charge.

…

“My perspective as chair, there was a carefully crafted deal last year,” Shultz said. “We’re not saying no, but what we’re saying is if we’re going to be thoughtful policy makers, we really need to dive deep into this issue.”

The proposed bill, even without the provisions that Democrats on the Public Safety Committee are blocking, will roll back some of a bill that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed in 2022 that prevented police from arresting prostitutes for loitering — a bill that led to an explosion of street prostitution, including child sex trafficking.

The bill recalls efforts by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) to decriminalize various sex crimes involving minors in their late teens, arguing that these penalize the LGBTQ community disproportionately.

Virginia Giuffre’s Father Says She Wasn’t Suicidal; Demands Investigation

The father of prominent Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse victim Virginia Giuffre doesn’t believe the narrative that she took her own life last week, and is demanding an independent investigation.

As we highlighted, Giuffre previously stated that she was not suicidal, and her lawyer is adamant there is no evidence to suggest she was. 

She was also involved in a bizarre incident just weeks prior to her death wherein an Instagram post from her account claimed she had been hit by a bus in Australia and had just days to live.

Giuffre’s family issued a statement last week confirming her suicide, but now her own father, Sky Roberts, has spoken out saying he does not buy that narrative.

In an interview with TMZ, he explicitly stated that he doesn’t believe his daughter killed herself.

“My daughter was a fighter,” Roberts said, adding “She was speaking out against some of the most powerful people in the world, and now we’re supposed to believe she just gave up?”

“I don’t buy it. The police need to dig deeper—much deeper,” Roberts added.

Giiffre’s attorney Karrie Louden told The Sun earlier this week that she spoke to her just days before she was found dead, and that she expressed optimism for the future.

“She [Virginia] wanted to renovate this house and all sorts of things like that. There were plans that she had for the future,” Louden urged, adding “things were positive.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Turns Up the Heat on AG Pam Bondi — Demands Immediate Release of Epstein Client List Amid Deaths of Two Victims and Dwindling Public Trust

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, has intensified her demands for Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein client list, citing the recent deaths of two victims and a growing erosion of public trust in the Department of Justice (DOJ).

The fiery congresswoman took to X on Monday, writing:

“2 Epstein victims are now dead. Every day the DOJ delays releasing the Epstein client list, public trust erodes & more lives are put at risk. I am calling on the DOJ and @AGPamBondi to act immediately — release the files. The American people deserve the truth.”

Her urgent call follows the shocking and suspicious death of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most high-profile accusers.

Luna’s latest push follows months of frustration with the DOJ’s apparent stonewalling on the release of critical documents related to Epstein’s infamous sex trafficking network.

As chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Luna has been relentless in her pursuit of transparency, demanding not only the Epstein files but also records related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Gateway Pundit has previously reported on Luna’s efforts to hold Bondi accountable.

On February 25, 2025, TGP detailed Luna’s public confrontation with the Attorney General, noting that Luna had sent letters to the DOJ on February 11 and 19, requesting updates on the declassification process.

The DOJ’s failure to respond prompted Luna to take her grievances to X, where she wrote, “On Feb 11 & Feb 19, House Oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK etc. The DOJ has not responded. Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG. AG Pam Bondi, what is the status of the documents? These documents were ordered to be declassified.”

‘No signs’ that Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre would take her own life – as her lawyer speaks out on conspiracy fears

Jeffrey Epstein victim and Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre showed ‘no signs’ that she would take her own life, her lawyer has revealed. 

Karrie Louden, who had represented Ms Giuffre, 41, since January, addressed the media outside her client’s farmhouse on Monday as she spoke out on the conspiracy fears surrounding her death.

Giuffre took her own life on Friday night at her farmhouse in Neergabby, north of Perth after the ‘toll of abuse… became unbearable’, according to her family. 

Ms Louden said she was ‘in shock’ and was in contact with her client in the days before her death.

‘This has been a complete shock to all of us,’ she told Daily Mail Australia. 

‘If any of us had thought she’s going to commit suicide, of course we would have taken more steps, put her into a clinic or got her some more help.

‘When I got the phone call, I was like, ‘are you joking?’ Because there was no signs that was something she was considering.’

Ms Louden wouldn’t speculate on the circumstances surrounding the mum-of-three’s death.

‘It’s inconclusive. I’m a defence lawyer and I don’t like to speculate about things until the evidence is in [and] the evidence is not in,’ she said.

‘The police told me nothing, they didn’t even confirm she was dead. It wasn’t suspicious circumstances – it’s suicide or misadventure.

‘I didn’t see her in the room. I wasn’t in there. The family said what the family has said but I’m not going to speculate whether it was suicide or accidental.

‘You’ll all be aware that she’s been in hospital. She’s been on medications.

‘Has she just taken too many painkillers? Was she intentionally doing it? I just, you know… I don’t even know what the cause of death was.’ 

Ms Louden said there were no suspicious circumstances ‘as far as we are aware’.

She is unaware whether a suicide note was left. 

‘Given the recent activities, it’s very likely that we will never know. The police were just very, very vague. I know that she’s gone but how that happened, I don’t know,’ Ms Louden said.

‘I’m not sure we’ll ever know. I mean, sometimes the coroner might say it was suicide, the coroner might say it was misadventure, the coroner might say inconclusive.’

House Oversight Chair James Comer Accuses Pam Bondi’s DOJ of Stonewalling Epstein Child Trafficking Files

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) accused former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice of stonewalling efforts to obtain critical files related to notorious accused child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

The Gateway Pundit reported last week that President Donald Trump was asked point-blank about the long-awaited release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein during a swearing-in ceremony for Paul Atkins as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A reporter asked, “When can we expect the Epstein documents to be released?”

President Trump responded calmly but pointedly: “I don’t know. I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know.”

During an interview on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, Comer accused Pam Bondi’s DOJ of stonewalling the release of Epstein files.

Comer is the latest Republican to criticize Bondi’s leadership, following Anna Paulina Luna, Rudy Giuliani, Gen. Mike Flynn, and Tom Fitton.

Speaking about the newly formed Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets — which is investigating major scandals including the Epstein files, the JFK assassination, and the 9/11 coverups — Comer exposed the alarming pattern of bureaucratic resistance he has encountered.

“Our task force is trying to reach out and question the bureaucrats, figure out which bureaucrat didn’t comply with the orders,” Comer explained.
