However, this is only the beginning of the document release.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed today, according to DC Draino, that thousands of Epstein-related documents remain in the custody of the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

These records, which have been held back by federal prosecutors tied to previous administrations, are now scheduled to be delivered to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Washington, D.C., on February 28.

Conservative commentator DC Draino shared details of a meeting at the White House where he received a binder copy of the Epstein Files directly from top officials.

“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,” Draino wrote on X.

He added:

“This is the most transparent administration in American history. The best part? This is just the start. AG Bondi confirmed there are thousands more Epstein File documents being secretly held in the SDNY and they will be delivered to the DOJ in DC by February 28. People will be going to jail for what they’ve done.”

The release of the Epstein Files has been highly anticipated as it may shed light on powerful figures tied to the disgraced financier.

Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes and accused of operating a global trafficking ring, allegedly maintained connections with high-profile individuals in politics, business, and entertainment.

With thousands more files now set to be transferred to the DOJ, the coming weeks are expected to bring further disclosures and potential legal actions against individuals named in the documents.

As the first phase of the release begins today, additional batches of Epstein-related documents are expected to follow.

With the Biden-era DOJ accused of suppressing records, the Trump administration has made the release of these files a priority, in what some are calling the most significant transparency effort in modern history.

The February 28 delivery of SDNY’s remaining Epstein records could mark the next major turning point in this unfolding investigation.
