Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) is working on legislation that will protect the FBI’s Jeffrey Epstein documents due to concerns about the risk of destroying some FBI files.
In an interview on Wednesday with Fox News’s Jesse Watters, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the government had “pretty gross” information about the deceased pedophile. She stated that documents might be released on Thursday.
Ogles wrote to Bondi in a memo on Wednesday, “Should you encounter any statutory barriers to the expeditious public release of Jeffrey Epstein’s client list or other pertinent information related to his activities – to include circumstances in which any such documentation is housed in other federal agencies – I stand ready to assist.”
After hearing that some FBI agents are purportedly destroying critical documents, I’m currently working on a bill called the Preventing Epstein Documentation Oblivion Act, or PEDO Act.
Bondi is currently working on legislation that will protect all documents within her jurisdiction.
Ogles didn’t mention any names. He is the newest Republican legislator to make a statement about the Epstein documents this week. This comes after the House announced that a task force would be created under the leadership of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) to work on declassification.
This comes shortly after Benny Johnson, a conservative blogger and reporter, reported on allegations of FBI agents destroying evidence to prevent FBI Director Kash Patel from doing his job.
Ogles, in a letter to Bondi, wrote: “Our constituents are entitled to radical transparency on matters that affect the integrity of our legal system.”
We have not received a response from the FBI or Department of Justice regarding our request for comments.
