The Justice Department will release additional files from its investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday, while signaling that an active federal inquiry in New York and the need to shield victims could mean the public never sees a complete record.

Bondi, speaking at a news conference on Wednesday morning, repeatedly dodged questions about whether every remaining document would be released under new legislation Congress sent to President Donald Trump this week. Instead, she stressed that the department has already sent “over 33,000” Epstein records to Capitol Hill and would “continue to follow the law with maximum transparency” while protecting sex-trafficking victims.
