Republican lawmakers have warned President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi that withholding any documents relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case “would add fuel to the fire.”
The warning comes as Trump caved to pressure and signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act Wednesday evening, while Bondi fumbled her way through questions on how the Justice Department would proceed now that it has 30 days to release the files.
Bondi has changed her stance on the matter a number of times this year, prompting fierce criticism from the MAGA base and beyond.
There are concerns from both sides of the aisle that she could cite the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s ties to Democratic associates, ordered by Trump last week, as a reason to withhold the files.
“You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on but if you do a blanket hold, I think that they’re going to have a lot of people angry,” GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina told The Hill.
There is no way that any documents that show trumps name will released underacted or even better… just not released at all.
maga definitely will try to hide them but there are so many docs and maga staff are so mediocre, it’s almost impossible they will not miss some
