The Attorney General invited MAGA influencers to see the first tranche of the Jeffery Epstein files — now the White House says there’s “no specific timeline” to release the rest.

Attorney General Pam Bondi released the “first phase” of declassified files on February 27 related to the now dead sex offender. She even invited some conservative online personalities to the White House to see the files for themselves. Conservative commentator Rogan O’Handley, known online as DC Draino, was among the group who was given a white binder labelled “The Epstein Files: Phase One.”

At a briefing on Monday, O'Handley asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when to expect the “bulk of the files” to be released or any arrests related to the matter. She said she doesn’t have a “specific timeline” for their release. “I can assure you that the Attorney General and her team are working on this diligently,” Leavitt said, before calling Bondi a “bulldog.”

The tranche contained redacted court documents, most of which had been “previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government,” the attorney general said at the time. These include flight logs and Epstein’s contact book, containing names of his alleged associates. Bondi requested the FBI deliver the remaining documents the next morning. As of May 1, only the first phase of documents has been released.
