At the White House on Feb. 27 three conservative influencers proudly held aloft binders marked “The Epstein Files: Phase I.”Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed a bold new era, with the government “commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators."
