"The complaint calls it "deeply troubling" that no communications from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel appear in the ream of documents, despite their involvement in releasing the files to the public. "AG Bondi, DAG Blanche, and FBI Director Patel have spoken extensively on issues related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell," the letter says."
""They have been at the very center of DOJ's response (or lack thereof) to congressional and public calls for production of the Epstein files." "If DOJ were adhering to the broad scope of the EFTA, the Epstein Library should be replete with their communications. It is not." "The obvious conclusion is that these communications have been withheld, destroyed, or redacted to the point that they are not traceable in the Epstein Library.""
A complaint notes the absence of communications from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel in the released Epstein files and calls that absence "deeply troubling." The complaint contends those officials were central to DOJ responses to requests for the Epstein records and argues the Epstein Library should contain their communications under the EFTA. The final DOJ release arrived late, was heavily redacted, and included unverified FBI tipline information that implicated public figures. DOJ officials say the department complied with the law and offered congressional review of unredacted files.
