Attorney General Pam Bondi says she was misled into thinking she had all the files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview with Fox News host Mark Levin, Bondi shared, ““I kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more.”

She added, “I was assured that’s it.”

She continued the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York is “sitting on thousands of pages of documents.”

Bondi’s interview comes days after she claimed the documents she had in her position were new and damning but the files she released were already previously released through the Freedom of Information Act.

Here’s what The Hill reported:

Attorney General Pam Bondi was duped into thinking she had all the files related to investigations into disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she told Fox News host Mark Levin over the weekend while defending Thursday’s widely mocked document dump.

“I kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more,” Bondi said Saturday. “I was assured that’s it.”

Epstein, who hobnobbed with celebrities, royalty and other powerful people, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Bondi said she found out from a “whistleblower” after releasing 100 pages of flight logs and Epstein’s contact lists that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York is “sitting on thousands of pages of documents” that had not been handed over to her. She is now seeking additional information through the FBI.

Bondi vowed that Americans will eventually see “the full Epstein files.”

“We will get everything,” she told Levin. “We will have it in our possession. We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury information and confidential witnesses, but American people have a right to know.”

Per The Independent:

Attorney General Pam Bondi has again proclaimed that America will get “the full” Jeffrey Epstein files after the highly-anticipated “first phase” contained no major new allegations about the convicted sex offender nor his associates.

The nation’s top law enforcement officer publicly released about 200 pages of files Thursday, including a series of flight logs from Esptein’s private jet, a partly-redacted “contacts list,” and a fully blacked-out list of “masseuses.” Later Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice accused the FBI of withholding “thousands of pages” of Epstein documents, as Bondi wrote a letter to the bureau’s newly-confirmed director Kash Patel demanding that all material related to the disgraced financier be turned over to her office by Friday morning.

On Saturday, Bondi told Fox News host Mark Levin that Americans will “get the full Epstein files” thanks to Donald Trump being the “most transparent president.”
