Bondi hoping to release Epstein flight logs, names Thursday

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that the Department of Justice is hoping to release flight logs and the names of people tied to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday. 

“I think tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now … you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office,” Bondi told Fox News’s Jesse Watters late Wednesday.

Bondi, who was confirmed as attorney general at the beginning of this month, added that there are more than 250 victims whose identities need to be protected when releasing the documents.

She noted that the public will see a “lot of flight logs, a lot of names… a lot of information. But it’s pretty sick what that man did.” 

Last week, Bondi said Epstein’s alleged “client list” was in her office pending review.

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi said on Fox News. “That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”

Epstein, who often socialized with celebrities, royalty and other powerful individuals, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The disgraced financier owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) called on Bondi as well as FBI Director Kash Patel, who was recently sworn in to the role, earlier this week to release details about Epstein’s flight logs from his private helicopter and plane. 

“Since Mr. Epstein’s death in 2019, there is still much about this tragic case that is not known—including the names of his associates that are listed in the flight logs of his private jet and in Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘little black book,” Blackburn wrote in a letter. 

The Tennessee Republican also asked for the release of all video surveillance footage from the sex offender’s home in Palm Beach, Fla., a similar request she fielded to acting IRS Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell. 

President Trump signed an executive order that prompted an overview of classified documents that are in the interest of the public, including records connected to Epstein and the assassinations of former President Kennedy, former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) and civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The FBI has published documents related to their probe into the late businessman, but his client list has yet to be made public.
