Conservatives explode at botched Epstein document rollout: ‘Complete disappointment’
The rollout of the Epstein files by the Justice Department on Thursday and Friday has sparked heated criticism on social media. Many expressed dismay at the lack of new information and the delay in releasing the documents.
Conservatives were particularly vocal in their disappointment with the rollout. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida expressed frustration, stating that the documents released were not what was requested by the American people. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky also criticized the delay in releasing the files, suggesting that President Trump may not have control over the DOJ and FBI.
Furthermore, the presence of conservative influencers at the White House holding binders labeled “The Epstein Files Phase 1” drew ire from many on social media. Some accused the government of engaging in a theatrical rollout without providing substantial new information.
Attorney General Pam Bondi came under fire for the delay in releasing the full Epstein case file. She blamed an FBI field office in New York for withholding thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation. Bondi assured the public that the complete Epstein files would be delivered to her office promptly.
Despite the criticism, some defended Bondi against accusations of mishandling the document rollout. Elon Musk, CEO of DOGE, supported Bondi, emphasizing the challenges of navigating government bureaucracy.
In response to the controversy, FBI Director Kash Patel vowed to pursue transparency and accountability in the Epstein case. He promised to uncover any missing documents and ensure that all information is fully assessed and disseminated to the public.
As of Friday afternoon, no new files had been released, leaving many frustrated with the lack of progress. The public eagerly awaits the release of additional information related to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. The saga continues as the Justice Department grapples with the fallout from the Epstein scandal.
