Attorney General Pam Bondi said the government was in possession of "pretty sick" information on the late convicted pedophile, during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday. She said documents could be released as early as Thursday.

"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," Ogles wrote to Bondi in a memo on Wednesday.

"To that end, upon hearing reports that certain FBI agents are allegedly attempting to destroy critical records, I am currently drafting legislation entitled the Preventing Epstein Documentation Obliteration Act, or the PEDO Act."

The legislation, which is still in the works, would protect all files across Bondi's jurisdiction.

"Our constituents deserve nothing more than radical transparency in matters implicating the integrity of our justice system," Ogles wrote to Bondi.

Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) for comment, but did not hear back.
