FBI agents work 24 hours a day – some in 12 -hour night quarters – on a frantic mission this week.
Urgent work is not an imminent threat of national security, but in place of examining documents and other evidence in the investigation of the sexual trafficker accused Jeffrey Epstein Make writing before the Ministry of Justice published them publicly, according to people familiar with the situation.
The frantic effort is to try to solve a largely problem of the White House’s own manufacture: Trump’s allies have spent months eliminating plots on suicide death from Epstein and if the government retained information that could exhibit eminent people who could have been involved in its alleged crimes.
Last month, the Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the publication of Epstein files, which was met the derision of Trump’s supporters of Maga who expected to learn new information and who was disappointed with what they saw.
The agents were ordered to put aside the investigations, including some threats from China and Iran, to help finish editors, according to informed people.
Each Division of the Bureau has been ordered to provide agents with the cause, including those working on criminal and national security issues. This weekend, the agents of the Washington field office spend hours in writing, said people on the issue.
“Below The Attorney General Bondi Leadership, the Ministry of Justice works tirelessly to provide unprecedented transparency to the American people, “said a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice in response to CNN’s investigation.
For a large part of the week, agents were able to be seen in a room at the FBI headquarters, some also doing the work in campaign offices in New York and in an FBI office in Chantilly, Virginia, the sources said. For hours, the agents are seated at computers, using publishing software to identify the publishers required under federal laws, including the privacy law. The equipment also includes a video.
Bondi ordered the current editorial cycle after promising to release all the evidence related to Epstein’s investigation. The first tranche, published in February, consisted largely in documents already in the public domain.
The Ministry of Justice called “symbolic” and leap said in a letter to the director of the FBI Kash Patel That she learned late that New York investigators, who led the Epstein case, had kept thousands of pages of documents. She quickly asked that documents and video be produced at her office.
“There will be no deduction or limitation to my access or to my access. The Ministry of Justice will guarantee any public disclosure of these files so as to protect the privacy of the victims and in accordance with the law, because I have made all my career as a prosecutor,” Bondi on the Patel.
The problem remains, however, that the leaders of justice and the FBI do not believe that the new documents that will be published in the coming days will contain bombs. The officials expect that even after the publication of the last documents, people who believe that there are covered secrets will probably continue to believe that there is a concealment, much like the way in which the Cottage plot industry continued to flourish on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Even weeks after the publication of the first group of documents, publications on social media on other questions of application of the Ministry of Justice are bombed with apparent pro-Trump account responses requiring more substantial versions of the so-called Epstein files.
A justice official says that even if the last slice of documents does not meet criticism issues, the ministry is convinced that the public will eventually have access to more documents and evidence that he would have done if Bondi had not ordered the exam.
“The objective is transparency,” said the manager.
The Epstein documents review is part of a broader publication of the files promised by President Donald Trump, including documents related to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and President Kennedy.
Thousands of pages of JFK assassination documents published earlier this week have been the subject of another controversy because the social security numbers of certain people and other private information have been not corrected.
The experts said that JFK files did not contain new information to support the conspiracies on whom the president killed. Tom Samoluk, who was deputy director of the assassination file examination council, told CNN that from what he had examined, there is nothing to change the current conclusion of the Kennedy assassination: a alone shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for his death.
