As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk feuded on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel was recording an episode with podcast giant Joe Rogan, and the two reacted to Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-goes-after-trump-over-epstein-files-time-to-drop-the-really-big-bomb">Epstein Files accusation</a> against Trump while the cameras were rolling.
As the fight between Trump and Musk escalated, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930703865801810022">wrote</a> on X, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” He added in a follow-up: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Rogan read Musk&#8217;s post as he was recording an episode with Patel that dropped on Friday.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not participating in any of that conversation,&#8221; Patel said after Rogan read the post.
&#8220;Someone should take his phone away,&#8221; Rogan said of Musk.
&#8220;Jesus Christ, that&#8217;s a crazy thing to say,&#8221; Rogan added. &#8220;How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files? Does he have access to the Epstein Files?&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how he would,&#8221; Patel replied. &#8220;But I&#8217;m just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing. That&#8217;s way outside my lane.&#8221;
&#8220;What the f*** are they doing?&#8221; Rogan asked. &#8220;I understand he owns Twitter [X]. I think it&#8217;s bad for your mental health. I think posting things public all day and arguing with people all day is bad for you.&#8221;

Musk&#8217;s Epstein Files post was the culmination of a battle between Trump and Musk that began when the president said he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk, rebuking his former senior adviser for criticizing the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; Trump has not responded specifically to the Epstein allegation, but he did threaten to end government subsidies and contracts for Musk&#8217;s companies. Musk, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-fires-back-at-trump-with-threat-to-pull-nasas-only-ride-to-space">threatened</a> to decommission the SpaceX Dragon capsule, which would prevent astronauts from traveling to the International Space Station. Musk later <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930796810928599163">backed down</a> from his threat.

“I won’t be speaking to [Musk] for a while I guess, but I wish him well,” Trump told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/politics/donald-trump-elon-musk-rift">CNN</a> Friday morning.
“I’m not even thinking about Elon,” he added. “He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.”

Elon Musk escalated his falling out with President Donald Trump with what he characterized as a &#8220;really big bomb&#8221; on Thursday, stating that Trump is &#8220;in the Epstein files&#8221; and has been fighting against their release.
Musk&#8217;s stunning comment was made in a post on X amid what has quickly become an ugly falling out after the tech billionaire started to criticize the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which Trump supports. Musk says the administration has not released files linked to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein because the commander in chief himself is mentioned in the documents.
&#8220;Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930703865801810022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in one post. He <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930706186266890457" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in a follow-up: &#8220;Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.&#8221;
As of press time, Trump has not given a direct response to Musk&#8217;s assertion concerning Epstein, however the president did say in <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632205177163456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posts</a> on Truth Social that his one-time ally &#8220;just went CRAZY!&#8221; and <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632206992330264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> his government subsidies and contracts were in jeopardy.
Trump&#8217;s association with Epstein are known, though the president has denied any involvement with Epstein&#8217;s criminal acts. Some materials that have already been disclosed, including flight logs and court records, have made mentions of Trump being socially linked to Epstein. However, they have not presented any evidence implicating Trump in wrongdoing.
In 2008, after Epstein was accused of sexually abusing female minors in Florida, he reached a deal with federal prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to state-level prostitution charges, registered as a sex offender, and served roughly 13 months in jail and in a work-release program.
Last fall, in a conversation with podcaster Lex Fridman, Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbfTN-caFI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> that he would have &#8220;no problem&#8221; with releasing documents related to Epstein if he won the presidential election in November. He also addressed Epstein&#8217;s so-called &#8220;pedophile island,&#8221; saying, &#8220;A lot of big people went to that island, but fortunately, I was not one of them.&#8221;
Epstein died at the age of 66 in his New York City jail cell in August 2019 after being arrested on sex trafficking charges involving young girls and pleading not guilty. Top officials in Trump&#8217;s FBI insist Epstein killed himself, and recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/clear-as-day-bongino-says-fbi-will-release-convincing-video-on-epsteins-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teased</a> the release of video.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime companion, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of conspiring with Epstein to traffic and sexually abuse underage girls. She has since appealed the conviction.
With regard to the &#8220;Epstein files,&#8221; Trump&#8217;s administration faced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yesterdays-epstein-files-release-was-a-total-disaster" target="_blank" rel="noopener">controversy</a> in February when it released documents to well-known X personalities, only for people to quickly realize that the supposedly new records had already been disclosed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-fbi-lied-to-her-about-turning-over-all-of-the-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> the FBI lied to her about turning over all the files. She later <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1896754684708188658" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Fox News a &#8220;truckload&#8221; of evidence arrived and FBI Director Kash Patel would give her a &#8220;detailed report&#8221; on why the materials had been withheld.
Musk earlier this year said he loved Trump &#8220;as much as a straight man can love another man.&#8221;

Elon Musk Goes After Trump Over Epstein Files: ‘Time To Drop The Really Big Bomb’

U.S.

Washington D.C.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Thursday gave updates into the case of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-tied-january-6-pipe-bomber-to-metro-card-of-ex-gov-official-but-blocked-interview-of-him-former-agent-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">planted pipe bombs on January 6, 2021</a>, and the death of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Regarding the J6 case, where pipe bombs were planted at the Democrat National Committee and the Republican National Committee, Bongino said on &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; that the feds are closing in on numerous suspects.
&#8220;The second we got in, I said, &#8216;I want answers on this,&#8217; and I&#8217;m pretty confident that we&#8217;re closing in on some suspects,&#8221; the deputy director said.
Bongino noted that the Biden administration curiously showed a lack of interest in the pipe bomb case while the feds prosecuted more than 1,000 people who protested on January 6. &#8220;No one seemed to show any interest in this case,&#8221; he criticized.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
On the Epstein case, Bongino highlighted the American public&#8217;s lack of trust in the FBI and their general suspicion over the sex offender&#8217;s suicide. Addressing that issue, Bongino said the feds are working to clean up video evidence from the jail to show that Epstein was alone at the time he killed himself.
&#8220;There&#8217;s video &#8230; and we will release it,&#8221; Bongino said, noting that the video is not of the actual suicide. &#8220;That&#8217;s what&#8217;s taken a while on this &#8212; we&#8217;re working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced version. And we&#8217;re gonna give you the original, so you don&#8217;t think there are any shenanigans. You&#8217;re gonna see, there&#8217;s no one there but him. There&#8217;s just nobody there.&#8221;
&#8220;If you have a tip, let us know,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But there&#8217;s no DNA, there&#8217;s no audio, there&#8217;s no fingerprints, no suspects, no accomplices, there&#8217;s no tips, there&#8217;s nothing. If you have it, I&#8217;m happy to see it.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s video, clear as day, he&#8217;s the only person in there, and the only person coming out,&#8221; Bongino added. &#8220;You can see it.&#8221;
Epstein was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/17/nyregion/epstein-suicide-death.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found dead</a> with bed sheets wrapped around his neck at 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019, around a month after he was arrested.

January 6

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Thursday that the bureau would release video footage that shows &#8220;clear as day&#8221; that child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was the only person in his jail cell before he was found dead with marks around his neck.
In an appearance on &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6373606842112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox &amp; Friends</a>&#8221; Thursday morning, Bongino said that all the evidence points to Epstein committing suicide in his New York jail cell in August 2019. Some strange circumastances around Epstein&#8217;s death sparked widespread speculation that the child rapist was killed due to his potential knowledge of influential people allegedly committing similar crimes. Earlier this month, Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel were criticized after they said that there was &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1924115672021241991" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no evidence</a>&#8221; that Epstein killed himself.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not asking anyone to believe me. I&#8217;m telling you what&#8217;s there and what isn&#8217;t,&#8221; Bongino told the &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; co-hosts.
&#8220;There&#8217;s video that when you look at the video, and we will release it &#8230; we are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced version, and we&#8217;re going to give the original so you don&#8217;t think there were any shenanigans — you&#8217;re going to see there&#8217;s no one there but him,&#8221; Bongino added.
He said the video doesn&#8217;t show &#8220;the actual act&#8221; of Epstein committing suicide, adding that the footage comes from a camera in the Metropolitan Correctional Center bay, which was just outside of Epstein&#8217;s cell. Bongino clarified that the FBI would look into any tips that would suggest that Epstein was murdered, but currently, &#8220;there is no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no suspects, there’s no accomplices, there’s no tips. There is nothing.&#8221;
&#8220;If you have it, I’m happy to see it. There’s video clear as day, he’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it,&#8221; he added.

Some of the strange circumstances around Epstein&#8217;s death include the fact that he was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/jeffrey-epstein-was-taken-suicide-watch-high-level-psychologist-n1046071" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> from suicide watch just days after an apparent suicide attempt in July 2019. The decision to take Epstein off suicide watch was made by a &#8220;doctoral-level psychologist,&#8221; according to the Justice Department.
Additionally, two guards working the overnight shift on Epstein&#8217;s unit before his death allegedly <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-jeffrey-epstein-kill-himself-60-minutes-investigates-2020-01-05/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed</a> to check on him for more than 10 hours, falling asleep and neglecting their duty to make routine checks every 30 minutes. A camera that should have captured Epstein&#8217;s cell door was reportedly not working the night Epstein died.
Epstein was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/17/nyregion/epstein-suicide-death.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found dead</a> with bed sheets wrapped around his neck at 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019, around a month after he was arrested.

‘Clear As Day’: Bongino Says FBI Will Release Convincing Video On Epstein’s Death

Elon Musk ripped Bill Gates over his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after Gates criticized Musk over cuts to USAID funding.
Musk hit back at Gates on Tuesday during an interview at the Bloomberg Qatar Economic Forum. Gates had claimed that cuts to USAID, spearheaded by Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, had placed children all over the world in danger.
“Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children” given his close ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Musk responded when asked about Gates’ comments. The quip elicited cheers and applause from some in the audience.
“I wouldn’t trust that guy to babysit my kids, I can tell you that,” Musk added.
Musk said of Gates’ assertion that the cuts to USAID are endangering children: “Show us any evidence whatsoever that that is true. It’s false.”
https://x.com/tomselliott/status/1924827130136813973
Gates met Epstein in 2013 and joined him for several dinners, Gates has said. Gates has since <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/business/bill-gates-regrets-jeffrey-epstein-relations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that meeting with Epstein, who pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, was a “huge mistake.”
The relationship yielded none of the benefits Gates had hoped for, namely to raise money for philanthropic causes. According to Gates’ ex-wife, the relationship also <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/melinda-french-gates-says-she-was-upset-with-bill-gatess-meetings-with-jeffrey-epstein-11646319537" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caused</a> strains on his marriage. Gates and his wife divorced in 2021.
Musk’s comments were in response to remarks Gates made to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bdd9bb89-ac3c-4043-9ca4-bc7efbd41fed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Financial Times</a> in an article published earlier this month. Gates said that saving U.S. taxpayer money through cuts to USAID is “killing” children and leading them to contract HIV.
“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,” Gates said. “I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money.”

Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s sexual abuse, has died by apparent suicide, her family announced Friday.
&#8220;It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,&#8221; her family <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/virginia-giuffre-one-jeffrey-epsteins-prominent-abuse-survivors-dies-s-rcna203027?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&amp;taid=680c30990c1f320001019d49&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement to NBC News. &#8220;She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.&#8221;
Giuffre, who was 41, leaves behind a husband and three children. The family lived in Australia.
Giuffre was involved in several legal actions targeting Epstein.
She <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-predator-prowling-the-streets-the-trial-of-ghislaine-maxwell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a defamation lawsuit against Epstein&#8217;s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she accused of grooming her for Epstein’s abuse when she was a 16-year-old spa attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach (Trump reportedly later <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/510604-book-claims-trump-barred-epstein-from-mar-a-lago-after-financier-hit">banned</a> Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in 2007 for harassing another member’s teenage daughter). Giuffre said the sexual abuse she suffered included lessons on Epstein’s oral sex preferences.
Giuffre also sued Prince Andrew, claiming the British royal sexually abused her when she was 17. The prince has denied the accusations.
Last month, Giuffre <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/virginia-giuffre-death-updates-epstein-b2739856.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked</a> alarm when she posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a hospital bed, saying doctors had told her she had &#8220;four days to live&#8221; after a car crash with a school bus. However, she was discharged nearly a week later.
Giuffre was one of the first people to call for criminal charges against Epstein, and other Epstein victims credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.
&#8220;Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors,&#8221; the statement said. “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.&#8221;
Epstein was found dead at 66 in what was ruled a suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019. He was awaiting trial after being accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls.
The lurid details of his alleged sex ring include accusations that he procured underage girls for prominent men on his private island in the Virgin Islands, Little St. James.

Virginia Giuffre

Virginia Giuffre, who was a victim of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking ring, posted a photograph of herself claiming she had only four days to live roughly a week and a half before she was to face a judge for allegedly breaching a family violence restraining order. The social media post, however, was &#8220;a mistake,&#8221; according to her spokesman, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14561425/Jeffrey-Epstein-victim-Virginia-Giuffre-perth-charges-court-crash.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
On March 22, Giuffre, who has three teenage children with her husband of 22 years, Robert, stated on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHfzrupSu60/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> that her children had been “poisoned with lies.” On March 24, Giuffre was in a car that was hit by a school bus. Police described the accident as a minor bus crash. “It was reported by the bus driver. We have no report of any serious injuries,” Acting Western Australian Police Commissioner Kylie Whiteley <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9esIr9e5FQg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>.
But on Sunday, March 30, Giuffre posted a photo of herself on Instagram in which she appeared bruised all over the left side of her face, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14561425/Jeffrey-Epstein-victim-Virginia-Giuffre-perth-charges-court-crash.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a> that she was given just &#8220;four days to live.&#8221;
“This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can. I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.”
A spokesman for Giuffre said on Wednesday that she &#8220;made a mistake,&#8221; and Giuffre&#8217;s family issued a <a href="https://people.com/virginia-giuffre-crash-epstein-accuser-condition-worsened-11707030">statement</a> saying the Instagram post was meant to be private. Medical sources also told the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14561425/Jeffrey-Epstein-victim-Virginia-Giuffre-perth-charges-court-crash.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> that Guiffre does not have only days to live.
&#8220;Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude. Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care,&#8221; the family wrote. &#8220;On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding. The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene. They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital.&#8221;
After writing that Giuffre returned home after the accident, they added, “Virginia&#8217;s condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital. Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page. Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.”

Epstein Accuser ‘Made A Mistake’ With Post Claiming She Had ‘Four Days To Live’

Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was updated after a spokesman for Giuffre later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/epstein-accuser-made-a-mistake-with-post-claiming-she-had-four-days-to-live">admitted</a> the Instagram post was &#8220;a mistake.&#8221;
Virginia Giuffre, the most outspoken victim of deceased pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, claimed on Monday that she has “four days to live” after being struck by a school bus.
The crash took place in Western Australia, where Giuffre has been living with her husband. Police described the accident as a minor bus crash. “It was reported by the bus driver. We have no report of any serious injuries,” Acting Western Australian Police Commissioner Kylie Whiteley stated.
&#8220;Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending,&#8221; a spokesperson for Giuffre <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/31/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-virginia-guiffre-says-she-has-just-days-left-to-live-after-getting-hit-by-school-bus/">confirmed</a> to the New York Post.
Giuffre, 41, has accused some of the most powerful men in the world of sexual abuse of minors, including Prince Andrew and Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner.
She also <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2024/01/10/jeffrey-epstein-files-bill-clinton-ghislaine-maxwell/">recalled</a> that former president Bill Clinton allegedly made two trips to Little St. James, also known as “pedophile island,” to dine with the “beautiful” girls. Giuffre does not believe Clinton “participated” in any abuse.
Giuffre, a mother of three, shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed, covered in bruises.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve gone into kidney renal failure, they&#8217;ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,&#8221; Giuffre continued in her post. &#8220;I&#8217;m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.&#8221;
Giuffre’s father, Sky Roberts, commented on his daughter’s post: &#8220;If there is anything in the world, I can do to help you, please let me know. My spirit is with you now and holding your hand.&#8221;
Giuffre became Epstein&#8217;s most prominent accuser after filing a lawsuit in 2015, alleging sex trafficking at age 16.
She <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/31/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-virginia-guiffre-says-she-has-just-days-left-to-live-after-getting-hit-by-school-bus/">accused</a> several powerful figures of abuse, including Prince Andrew, Victoria&#8217;s Secret founder Les Wexner, and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. All of the former have denied any wrongdoing.
Giuffre said she was “forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions when she was 17 — including on Epstein’s Little St. James island, in New Mexico, and in Ghislaine Maxwell’s London home,” per the New York Post.
A photograph of Giuffre with Prince Andrew around the time of the alleged offense became central evidence in favor of Giuffre, creating a scandal that rocked the British Royal Family.
To avoid a humiliating court battle with Giuffre, in 2022, Prince Andrew paid Giuffre a settlement reported to be approximately $12 million while admitting no liability.
The royal family cut off all ties with Andrew, who lost all royal and military titles, but continues to deny Giuffre’s accusations despite the settlement.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, with authorities deeming the death a suicide. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s close associate and ex-girlfriend, received a 20-year prison sentence in 2022 for her role in the sex trafficking operation.
Before Epstein&#8217;s death in jail, Giuffre had released a manuscript containing more than 2,000 documents related to her lawsuit against Epstein and his associates, further exposing the extensive network of powerful figures allegedly connected to the trafficking operation.
Giuffre&#8217;s willingness to speak out transformed her into the most visible face of Epstein&#8217;s victims, bringing unprecedented attention to the case.

Epstein’s Most Outspoken Accuser Says She Was Critically Injured In Collision: ‘Four Days To Live’

Sexual Abuse

World

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday night that the Department of Justice had received &#8220;a truckload&#8221; of files on the FBI’s case against sex offender and Democrat donor Jeffrey Epstein.
Bondi told Fox News host Sean Hannity that she received the documents after giving the FBI a hard deadline to provide them.
&#8220;I gave [the FBI] a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything,&#8221; Bondi said, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/ag-pam-bondi-says-fbi-delivered-truckload-epstein-files-after-she-put-out-hard-deadline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Fox News</a>. &#8220;And a source had told me where the documents were being kept, Southern District of New York, shock. So, we got them all by Friday at 8 a.m.&#8221;
&#8220;Thousands of pages of documents,” she continued. “I have the FBI going through them&#8230;and Director [Kash] Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all of those documents.”
Bondi described the documents she received as “a truckload of evidence.”
&#8220;And, you know, we&#8217;re going to go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein,&#8221; she said.
During this interview, Bondi also accused the Biden administration of failing to turn over the documents.
&#8220;No one did anything with them. And why were they sitting in the Southern District of New York? I want a full report on that,&#8221; Bondi said, according to Fox. &#8220;You know, sadly, these people don&#8217;t believe in transparency. But I think more unfortunately, I think a lot of them don&#8217;t believe in honesty.&#8221;
&#8220;And it&#8217;s a new day. It&#8217;s a new administration, and everything&#8217;s going to come out to the public. The public has the right to know Americans have a right to know,” she added.
Last week, Bondi announced on Jesse Watters’ Fox News program that she would release some Epstein files the next day, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-some-epstein-files-including-flight-logs-will-hopefully-be-released-thursday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Bondi said the release would contain “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” adding that it’s “pretty sick what that man did – along with his co-defendant [Ghislaine Maxwell].”
Maxwell was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeffrey-epsteins-ex-girlfriend-ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced-to-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sentenced to 20 years</a> in prison for her role in trafficking underage girls for Epstein to assault.
But on the day the documents were expected to be released, Bondi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-fbi-lied-to-her-about-turning-over-all-of-the-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote a letter</a> to Patel saying the FBI had lied to her about turning over all the Epstein files.
“Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein,” Bondi wrote to Patel. “In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.”
“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” Bondi continued. “Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein. Despite my repeated requests, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.”
Patel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kash-patel-responds-to-pam-bondi-letter-about-jeffrey-epstein-documents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to Bondi’s letter by saying, “If records have been hidden, we will uncover them.”

Pam Bondi Says She Received A ‘Truckload’ Of Epstein Files After Accusing FBI Of Lying

New York

President Donald Trump marked six weeks in office on Friday as his administration continued to aggressively implement his agenda at home and seek peace abroad.
This week, Trump turned his attention to the war in Ukraine, capping the week with an explosive on-camera shouting match in the Oval Office with the Ukrainian president.
Here are this week&#8217;s highlights.
Foreign Leaders
On Friday, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. The visit was friendly until an Oval Office meeting devolved into an heated argument between Trump, Zelensky, and Vice President JD Vance in front of media cameras.
The back and forth began when Zelensky interrupted questions from the press to challenge Vance on diplomacy with Russia.
&#8220;During the war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don&#8217;t feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless, you will not have war,&#8221; Zelensky told Vance.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t tell us what we&#8217;re going to feel. We&#8217;re trying to solve a problem,&#8221; Trump interrupted, adding, &#8220;you don&#8217;t have the cards right now&#8221; and accusing Zelensky of &#8220;gambling with the lives of millions of people.&#8221;
The exchange went on for several minutes with Trump reminding Zelensky that the United States has sent Ukraine vital and expensive military equipment.
&#8220;Have you said thank you once?&#8221; Vance asked.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve empowered you to be a tough guy,&#8221; Trump told Zelensky. &#8220;You&#8217;re either going to make a deal, or we&#8217;re out.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Afterward, a joint press conference was canceled, and Trump asked Zelensky to leave the White House. The two presidents had also planned to sign a deal where Ukraine would trade rare minerals for defense help from the United States, but that signing was also canceled, leaving the deal in peril.
“I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social afterward. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
Trump also hosted French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday. They displayed their friendly relationship with plenty of handshakes, but clashed on the Ukraine war.
Macron said &#8220;peace must not mean a surrender of Ukraine,&#8221; while Trump emphasized how much money the United States has spent on aid to Ukraine and said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to make a deal.
Trump hosted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House on Thursday, where Starmer <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/27/trump-presidency-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> Trump to continue supporting Ukraine, as well as not to put tariffs on the United Kingdom.
Trade and American Investment
Trump said China will be hit with an additional 10% tariff next week on top of the first 10% tariff Trump already imposed this month. The president cited China&#8217;s major role in fentanyl flowing into the United States.
Trump also said tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will go into effect on March 4 &#8220;as scheduled,&#8221; saying those countries have not done enough to stop the flow of drugs into the United States either.
On Monday, Apple <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the tech giant will invest $500 billion in the Unites States over the next four years. Apple CEO Tim Cook <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1893048920047018379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met</a> with Trump last week. The move will create 20,000 jobs in the United States and comes amid Trump&#8217;s tariffs aimed at encouraging United States manufacturing.
Trump also <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/addressing-the-threat-to-nationalsecurity-from-imports-of-copper/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order aimed at addressing national security threats from copper imports, saying copper products are &#8220;vital&#8221; for defense products and other technology. The order <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-reliance-on-foreign-copper-poses-a-direct-threat-to-national-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs</a> the Commerce Secretary to look into tariffs on copper imports to encourage domestic production. The order also references China, the global leader in copper smelting and refining, saying China&#8217;s dominance &#8220;poses a direct threat to United States national security and economic stability.&#8221;
Immigration
Illegal crossings at the southern border are <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1892771191787508153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">down</a> to about 285 a day, 94% lower than in February a year ago, and migrants are <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/new-trend-of-migrants-turning-around-and-heading-back-toward-home-under-trump-border-crackdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> giving up and returning home <a href="https://apnews.com/article/panama-united-states-migration-trump-beb125ce0ecbebb2895ea9dd18c4c53b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">due</a>, in part, to the end of the Biden administration&#8217;s CBP One app.
Arrests inside the country are up 137% <a href="https://x.com/TriciaOhio/status/1891631396214493594" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared</a> to a year ago. The illegal migrant criminals the administration has arrested <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/sick-politicians-want-killers-rapists-roaming-our-streets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">include</a> a Salvadoran migrant convicted of sodomy with a victim under 13, a Sudanese migrant convicted of rape of a victim under 13, and a Mexican migrant who had an order of removal from 2006 and was convicted of drunk driving resulting in a death.
On Thursday, the White House said 29 Mexican cartel members were extradited to the United States for prosecution, including a cartel boss who tortured and murdered a DEA agent in the 1980s.
Health Care
Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/making-america-healthy-again-by-empowering-patients-with-clear-accurate-and-actionable-healthcare-pricing-information/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order aimed at making sure patients have clear and accurate information about the price of their health care. Several departments, including Health and Human Services, are directed to enforce new price transparency regulations to make sure hospitals and insurance companies disclose their actual prices, not estimates, and make prices comparable across the board, including prescription drug prices.
DOGE
Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency-cost-efficiency-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a new executive order giving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) more power to slash government spending.
The order tells federal agency heads to work with DOGE team leads to justify government spending over the next month, starting with investigating grants and contracts to educational institutions and foreign entities for waste, fraud, and abuse. Agency heads also have to explain taxpayer-funded conference travel and identify federal properties that are no longer needed. The order also freezes all agency credit cards except those for disaster relief or other critical services.
Meanwhile, one million federal workers responded to Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE email asking them to describe five things they got done the week before.
The administration continues to slash the federal workforce, with thousands of employees <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/tracking-federal-workforce-firings-dg/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">already</a> fired and more taking buyout offers.
Epstein Files
Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to release the FBI&#8217;s files on millionaire sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, but she was stymied by the FBI allegedly withholding thousands of Epstein documents.
On Wednesday, Bondi said on Fox News that she hoped to release some Epstein files the next day. On Thursday, Bondi <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/right-wing-influencers-get-binders-labeled-the-epstein-files-but-downplay-revelations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave</a> a group of right-wing influencers at the White House binders labeled &#8220;The Epstein Files: Phase 1.&#8221; However, the binders contained little new information, certainly not Epstein&#8217;s sex trafficking client list.
Bondi then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-fbi-lied-to-her-about-turning-over-all-of-the-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> the FBI of lying to her about turning over all the Epstein documents after someone at the FBI&#8217;s New York office told her there were thousands more documents.
Also this week, Bondi <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pam-bondi-dismisses-dei-lawsuits-involving-police-officers-and-firefighters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the Justice Department has dropped several Biden-era DEI lawsuits against police and fire departments over their supposedly racist hiring practices such as written exams and credit checks.
Other Moves
Trump held his first official Cabinet meeting, which Elon Musk attended.
Trump <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1894500240863969327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1894500240863969327%7Ctwgr%5E8f59ae9134259fc75a25aea5ffa53ea38b57d4e5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Ftrump-yanks-clearances-from-jack-smiths-team-scolds-reporter-worried-about-who-hes-targeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nixed</a> the security clearances of a law firm, Covington &amp; Burling LLP, that provided free legal services to Special Counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s office in the cases against Trump before the election.
“I was the target of corrupt politicians for four years, and then four years after that. So don’t talk to me about targeting,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-yanks-clearances-from-jack-smiths-team-scolds-reporter-worried-about-who-hes-targeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> a reporter at the signing.
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/agriculture-secretary-brooke-rollins-my-plan-to-lower-egg-prices-6be0f881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid out</a> her plan to lower egg prices, an economic sticking point for years. The strategy will involve spending up to $1 billion to curb avian flu, protecting egg farmers from regulations like California&#8217;s minimum space requirements for hens, and considering temporary egg imports.
Vance, a Catholic, addressed the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Friday. The vice president said ahead of his remarks that during the election cycle, he was &#8220;moved to witness the joyful devotion&#8221; of Catholics &#8220;praying for the future and success of our country,&#8221; and &#8220;thanks to their faithful prayers, hope has returned to America again.&#8221;
Meanwhile, a new poll conducted last week <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/HHP_Feb2025_vFinal.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> Americans are more optimistic about the economy, more say their personal financial situation is improving, and a majority, 52% approve of the job Trump is doing as president.

Remember the scene from the TV special “The Mystery of Al Capone&#8217;s Vaults” in which Geraldo Rivera tried to open Al Capone&#8217;s vault, finally did, and there was nothing inside?
The reveal of the Epstein files was like that. And this has led to speculation that the Epstein files are still secretly somewhere, and the lack of justification for more material being out there is demonstrated by the lack of material.
This sort of stuff is annoying. I want all the Epstein files exposed, every single piece of them — all of it unredacted as much as humanly possible. Theoretically, the only information that should be redacted is information to protect the victims, certainly nothing to protect the allegations against perpetrators.
I want to know exactly who Jeffrey Epstein was, who was opping him — because the question of how he made his money is a serious question — and why law enforcement basically allowed him to gallivant around performing atrocities against young women on behalf of powerful men with his girlfriend, paramour, and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
But that did not happen on Thursday, and I think these distractions are not great for the Trump administration.
The Trump administration has very serious work. I keep saying this because it&#8217;s important: I want the Trump administration to be highly successful. And there are important things to do.
We need to rebuild the American military. We need to rebuild the American economy and unleash its dynamism. We need to get our debt under control. We need to cleanse DEI from all aspects of the federal government. We need to reshape America&#8217;s foreign policy around rising threats like China.
There is much to do and not a lot of time to do it. So these sorts of shiny-object distractions that don&#8217;t materialize into anything are a problem. And I think they lend credence to the opponents of the Trump administration, which I absolutely don&#8217;t want to happen.
Thursday was a s***show when it came to the Epstein files.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2148-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
On Wednesday, Pam Bondi, the attorney general of the United States, announced she would be releasing new Epstein files showing names that have not been released before, unseen materials.
So everyone was waiting for the release of this information. Then, on Thursday morning, pictures started being released of social media influencers who were holding up binders that supposedly contained new Epstein information.
So, ok, fine. It&#8217;s an odd way to release it, but can we see what&#8217;s in it?
Then, over the course of the day, it turned out there was basically nothing in the binders; it was full of information that we already knew.
By the way, this is the second time this has happened. We were told that the JFK files were going to be released and that was going to explode everything. And that never happened. Because guess what? We pretty much know all there is to know about the JFK assassination.
There’s a conspiratorial angle that the Right seems to have fallen in love with: Unanswered questions must be answered in the most perverse possible way. Thinking that if the evidence isn&#8217;t there, but we just keep saying that there is a lack of evidence, and lack of evidence is actually proof of evidence… That kind of thinking is not rational.
I&#8217;m willing to follow this evidence wherever it leads. I want the answers the same as everyone else. The Epstein case is unlike the JFK assassination, where the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald and there&#8217;s a plethora of video, forensic, and documentary evidence available. In the Epstein case, we really don&#8217;t know what the hell happened.
We still don&#8217;t know any of the key questions, such as who was running him, and if he was an opp, what exactly he was doing? Who were the people on the island? What kind of tapes are there?
All of those questions are unanswered. So I understand why there is so much dyspepsia over the Epstein case. But if you&#8217;re going to do a reveal, that means you better have some goods, something better come out. And it didn&#8217;t come out yesterday.
And I think people are right to be frustrated about it.
The release strategy was weird, and when it turned out there was nothing to it, the repercussions began.
The reason I’m sad about all of this is because there are serious things to be done. Trump has appointed an amazing cabinet. He&#8217;s got a big agenda, things to do, and a short time to do them.
These sorts of distractions are getting in the way of Trump doing what needs to be done.
