• The documents, titled 'The Epstein Files: Phase 1,' were distributed to select right-wing influencers before being made public, sparking accusations of political opportunism.
• Bondi accused the FBI of withholding thousands of pages of Epstein-related files, demanding their immediate release and an investigation into the agency's actions.
