” We must work on the basis of transparency and accountability in order to identify individuals who may have participated in Epstein’s “abhorrent conduct’. ” Blackburn emphasized in her letter sent to the two.
There is a national uproar as congressional task force led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has initiated action to declassify documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
Amidst this, a whistleblower, who is a close source to the FBI emerged claiming that all the files connected to the Epstein scandal are being erased. This comes after Attorney General, Pam Bondi started the review of JFK files which were to be reviewed alongside Epstein files as ordered by president Trump.
The whistleblower said that FBI deleting Jeffrey-Epstein related files aligns with recent public and political pressure demanding for transparency.
Similar accusations have been made by X users, joining the trend of calling out FBI for failing to release the files as directed, although there is no concrete evidence from them or the whistleblower which connects the FBI to such allegations.
According to American sources, Jeffrey Epstein was a renowned financial expert, later charged as a sex offender and pedophile. He worked for sometime in the banking and finance sector, then started his own firm where he cultivated an elite social circle, where he procured many women and children whom his associates who came to his firm,largely known as ‘Epstein island’ sexually abused.
The police in Florida started having suspicions about ongoing activities in the firm in 2005 after a parent reported that her 14-year-old daughter had been sexually abused. Federal identified other 36 girls also allegedly abused by Epstein. He pleaded guilty and got convicted in 2008, served 13 months in custody but with extensive work release. He was arrested again on July 6, 2019 with charges grounded on sex trafficking of minors. He was later found dead in his jail cell on August 10, ruled by the medical examiner as suicide by hanging, something that was met by skepticism by the larger public,outruling the cause of death mentioned leading to the build-up of different conspiracy theories.
On February 24, 2025, Tennessee state senator, Marsha Blackburn instructed the newly appointed FBI director, Kash patel and acting IRS Commisioner to release complete unredacted files on Epstein case including the surveillance footage, flight logs and financial records.
” We must work on the basis of transparency and accountability in order to identify individuals who may have participated in Epstein’s “abhorrent conduct’. ” Blackburn emphasized in her letter sent to the two.
Some figures associated with the Epstein island had already been released in 2019, from Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation lawsuit, which named approximately 150 of Epstein’s associates. The list surprisingly had famous figures like; Bill clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and others, even though their inclusion does not indicate criminal involvement.
If Trump and Bondi’s plan to declassify the Epstein client’s file materializes, it could be a breakthrough to one of the longest pending cases by revealing new names and evidences, leading to further investigations or prosecutions
