Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she was \u201cnot confident\u201d yet that Attorney General Pam Bondi would release the client list of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not confident on the Epstein client list because I haven\u2019t had the briefing yet from the Department of Justice,\u201d Luna said during<\/a> her Monday night appearance on One America News’s \u201cThe Matt Gaetz Show.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll know more tomorrow on that, but based on what I\u2019m hearing from the attorney general, she keeps saying that she is going to release something, so I am going to take her at her word for that,\u201d the Florida Republican told former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). <\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Bondi said on Fox News<\/a> she was misled on the Epstein documents while also defending the ridiculed documents dump on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more,\u201d Bondi said. \u201cI was assured that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luna, who heads the bipartisan House panel that reviews classified documents in high-profile cases, said the group of lawmakers has been pushing for \u201cmaximum transparency.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have asked for the full list, we have asked for all of the documentation, we are pushing for maximum transparency, but again, we do not hold the classification authority,\u201d Luna said. \u201cThat is again up to the attorney general.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Justice Department (DOJ) released a tranche of documents Thursday to a group of conservative influencers, most of which were already publicly available. Bondi later said there are far more to be released to the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luna shared her disappointment on social media over the DOJ\u2019s document dump on Thursday, the \u201cphase one\u201d that was packaged and given to MAGA-aligned influencers in white binders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTHIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment,\u201d Luna wrote on X. \u201cGET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) characterized the rollout<\/a> of the documents as a bad day for the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Epstein, who mingled with royalty, celebrities and other powerful people, died in 2019<\/a> by apparent suicide before his trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

Bondi said Saturday she learned from a \u201cwhistleblower\u201d that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York is \u201csitting on thousands of pages of documents\u201d that had yet to have been given to the DOJ.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will get everything,\u201d she told Fox News host Mark Levin<\/a>. \u201cWe will have it in our possession. We will redact it, of course, to protect grand jury information and confidential witnesses, but American people have a right to know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
