Rep. Goldman Presses Bondi on Epstein Files Delay as FBI Reviews 14 Terabytes; Prince Andrew Fears Video Release

U.S. Representative Dan Goldman has sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding answers about the delayed release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, alleging that the Department of Justice may be stonewalling the release at the direction of President Donald Trump. Goldman referenced Bondi's February promise to release the full files, which remains unfulfilled after 74 days.

The FBI is reportedly reviewing up to 14 terabytes of Epstein-related evidence, including tens of thousands of videos. Unreleased materials are believed to include footage that could implicate high-profile individuals such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew. There are claims that some of the evidence has been destroyed, but Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has suggested that Israel and the United Kingdom may still possess critical information, and has called for these governments to release any evidence they hold.

Attorney General Bondi has not provided a timeline for the public release of the files. Prince Andrew reportedly fears that videos taken by Epstein could show him with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault and settled a civil suit with him in 2022 for a reported £12 million ($20 million). Giuffre was involved in ongoing legal battles, including a lawsuit from Rina Oh, and was reportedly distressed over the potential loss of her settlement and estrangement from her children in the weeks before her death by suicide at age 41 in Australia.

There are conflicting claims regarding Giuffre's statements about Prince Andrew. Lady Victoria Hervey, a former associate of the Duke of York, has asserted that the FBI holds recordings in which Giuffre defends Andrew. New Epstein-related videos are reportedly set to be released in the U.S., potentially showing Prince Andrew with Giuffre.

Virginia Giuffre was a prominent advocate for sex abuse survivors and played a central role in bringing allegations against Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew to light. The fate of the remaining Epstein files and the extent of evidence held by U.S. and foreign authorities remain unresolved.
