Summary
1. Background:
- We discuss the release of the Epstein files and the controversy over the FBI's handling of these documents.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi has accused the FBI's New York office of withholding critical Epstein documents against the orders of their superiors, including the FBI Director Cash Patel and the President of the United States.
2. Key Events:
- Bondi sent a letter to Patel, revealing that the New York FBI office had not provided the full set of documents related to Epstein, despite repeated requests.
- The letter, dated February 27, was obtained by independent journalist Tim Poole and confirmed by guests at a White House briefing.
3. White House Briefing:
- At the White House briefing, conservative influencers and journalists were given Phase One briefing books on the Epstein files.
- Bondi and Patel explained that rogue FBI officials in New York were withholding documents and possibly destroying them.
4. **Details from the Letter**:
- Bondi's letter states that she had requested the full Epstein files before taking office but received only about 200 pages, mostly consisting of flight logs, contact lists, and victim information.
- A source within the FBI informed Bondi that thousands of pages of documents were being withheld.
5. Immediate Actions:
- Bondi directed Patel to deliver the full Epstein files to her office by 8 AM on Friday and to conduct an investigation into why her orders were not followed.
- The Department of Justice corroborated Bondi's claims, stating that the FBI Field Office in New York had withheld documents.
6. Media and Public Reaction:
- The media criticized the release, claiming there was nothing new in the documents.
- Conservative influencers were chosen to receive the briefing, bypassing mainstream media, which led to further criticism.
8. Interview with Chad Prather:

| 0:06.2 | and it is about the Jeffrey Epstein Files. |
| 0:09.2 | There was a group of individuals that were asked to come to the White House that received part one of the Epstein files. |
| 0:16.8 | And I'm going to have that guest, Chad Prather, join us in just a moment. |
| 0:22.1 | But before we get to that, I want you to understand the real part of this story that's not being covered accurately. |
| 0:29.9 | There are a lot of people saying they're angry by what was released, basically implying that there was nothing new there. |
