Conservatives explode at botched Epstein document rollout: 'Complete disappointment'

The highly anticipated release of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday did not include a "client list" or any new startling information, and speculation continued into Friday with the Justice Department saying that some of the documents were still being tracked down.

Many conservatives took to social media to express frustration and disappointment with the rollout over the past couple of days. 

Many on social media also took issue with the presence of several conservative influencers at the White House who were pictured outside holding binders that said "The Epstein Files Phase 1," suggesting that new information had been released. 

Bondi said she had requested the full Epstein case file before Patel was confirmed as the head of the FBI and received about 200 pages of files - far fewer than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit connected to Ghislaine Maxwell, the trafficker's former lover and convicted accomplice.

"I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents," Bondi wrote. "Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein."

"By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained," Bondi added. "There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access."

As of Friday afternoon, no new files had been released. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the Justice Department for comment. 

"What you're going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information," Bondi said on Fox News on Wednesday night when asked about the type of information that would be released Thursday. "But, it's pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant."

"The FBI is entering a new era-one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice," Patel wrote. 

"There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned - and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise."
