U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed during a Fox News interview that the long-anticipated “client list” tied to Jeffrey Epstein is currently ready for review on her desk.
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi commented to host John Roberts. “That’s been a directive by President Trump.”
The infamous list, suspected to name high-profile individuals connected to Epstein, has stirred significant public interest and government criticism due to a lack of transparency.
Epstein, previously convicted of underage sex trafficking, was found dead in his jail cell before standing trial for additional allegations.
President Trump has vowed not only to unveil the Epstein client list but also to release classified government records regarding pivotal historical events.
These include the assassinations of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., former President John F. Kennedy, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Bondi elaborated, “That’s all in the process of being reviewed, because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies.”
The push for greater disclosure gained momentum after a judge presiding over Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial in 2023 ordered the release of the Epstein client list.
However, concerns about privacy and legal fairness have slowed the release. There’s ongoing debate over whether disclosure might unfairly tarnish the reputations of those with tangential or innocent connections to Epstein.
When directly asked if she had seen anything substantial in the documents thus far, Bondi straightforwardly replied, “Not yet.”
Following Trump’s executive order concerning records of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Federal Bureau of Investigation unearthed thousands of undisclosed records.
This discovery included approximately 2,400 documents tied to the assassination that had never been transferred to the JFK Assassination Records Review Board or the National Archives, as stipulated by law.
The oversight violated the 1992 JFK Records Act, which required such records to be archived for public access.
Additionally, the FBI uncovered classified documents from a cache of approximately 14,000 pages.
This resulted from Trump’s demand for a full transparency review regarding files tied to JFK’s assassination.
Some unnamed sources within the White House disclosed fears that Trump would “hit the roof” if there were attempts to obstruct the release of these classified materials.
Jefferson Morley, an assassination expert, described the FBI’s recent actions as pivotal, saying, “This is huge. It shows the FBI is taking this seriously.”
He further noted that, for years, secrecy had been the norm, yet Trump’s executive order appeared to ignite a change in the federal response.
Despite these breakthroughs, individuals within the U.S. intelligence community have asked that redactions remain in place for a portion of the records to preserve key operational security measures. Sources and methods, they argue, could be compromised by an unabridged release.
The JFK assassination records were partially made public once again in 2022. The National Archives disclosed that 97% of the documentation, equivalent to roughly 5 million pages, had already been released.
Nevertheless, an estimated 3,000 documents remained withheld entirely, while 30,000 others included redacted content.
Since assuming office, Trump has consistently promised to make this material available in full, citing public demand and unresolved questions about the events of November 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
While signing the document ordering authorities to proceed with disclosures, Trump stated, “A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed.”
The president’s actions garnered praise from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who took to Twitter to show gratitude, saying, “Thank you, President Trump for trusting American citizens and for taking the first step down the road towards reversing this disastrous trajectory.”
