The Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi, announced the possible declassification of the files of Jeffrey Epstein, the businessman and sex trafficker who had connections with political and famous figures in the American country. Despite the fact that the billionaire committed suicide in August 2019 in the federal prison of New York, much controversy has been created regarding the islands he owned, where the sexual acts took place.
In a series of statements made on national television, Pam Bondi expressed: “Tomorrow you will see information about Epstein published by my department (...) many flight records, many names, a lot of information,” describing the person responsible for the sex trafficking of minors and the powerful figures who allegedly participated in his criminal acts as “sickening.”
A request has also been made to the United States Department of Justice to achieve the declassification of the files, following the president's mandate to declassify documents regarding the deaths of R. F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. This request seeks information about the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
Additionally, Senator Marsha Blackburn warned on national television that the release of Epstein's files is only the first phase and called for the immediate arrest of those involved. In her words, “The publication of Epstein's records will help bring justice to the young and innocent women who were victims of trafficking and abuse.”
