“Today I met with President Trump, VP JD Vance, AG Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel in the Oval Office They handed me a binder copy of the Epstein Files This is the most transparent administration in American history The best part?

The New York Post reported that there is no client list in this first binder, though more materials are expected to be released. Sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died in prison in 2019, and his colleague Ghislaine Maxwell is still serving a prison term for her part in their scheme.
Some are saying the “phase 1” binder isn’t new and isn’t enough. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna blasted the distribution of the binders on X.
“I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today… A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein’s phonebook. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!” Luna said on X.
