Overview

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the Justice Department is reviewing “tens of thousands” of videos showing Jeffrey Epstein with children or child pornography following a hidden‐camera encounter and White House remarks.
  • The Associated Press reviewed hundreds of court documents and found only vague references to video evidence, with no support for the scale of recordings Bondi described.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel publicly questioned the existence of incriminating tapes, saying any such footage of powerful figures would already have been released.
  • A 2023 court filing by Epstein’s estate mentioned an unspecified number of sealed videos and photos that “might contain child sex abuse material,” but details remain under a protective order.
  • The Justice Department has not provided a timeline for further disclosures, intensifying bipartisan criticism and fueling speculation over what evidence may still be withheld.
