Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the FBI to hand over “the full and complete Epstein files” to her by Friday morning .

Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in the early 2000s .

He was indicted on federal charges in New York in 2019 , more than a decade after he struck a deal with federal prosecutors in Florida to dispose of similar charges of sex trafficking.

In 2023 , The Associated Press obtained thousands of pages of records shedding light on the final days of Epstein ’s life at a now-shuttered federal jail in Manhattan .

The Justice Department Inspector General later issued a report finding that a “combination of negligence, misconduct and outright job performance failures” by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and jail workers enabled Epstein to take his own life.
