MAGA Influencers Brag About Getting 'Epstein Files,' But Much Has Already Been Released

Some of the influencers later downplayed the value of what they had been given at the White House.

On Thursday, a gang of social media influencers loyal to President Donald Trump walked out of the White House and quickly took to social media to brag about their haul: Each had been given a large white binder reading, “The Epstein Files: Phase 1.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi pledged earlier in the week to release what information the federal government had gathered on Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in prison awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.

“What you’re going to see ... is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” Bondi told Fox News, adding, “It’s pretty sick, what that man did.”

But the binders did not appear to contain any new information. A watermark across the front read “DECLASSIFIED,” but it was not clear whether any of the information inside had ever been technically classified.

Much of the information surrounding Epstein — flight logs, pages of his so-called little black book — has already been made public over the last several years thanks to lawsuits and various media outlets. A version of the files is even available for just $5 on Amazon.
