What happened
Six days later, on February 27, 2025, DOJ staged the white-binder 'Epstein Files: Phase 1' handout to social media influencers on the White House driveway. It contained essentially no new information. Bondi then blamed the FBI's New York field office. A DOJ and FBI memo in July 2025 concluded there was no client list at all.
