• Rep. James Comer (R-KY) warns that critical Epstein files may have been destroyed by the DOJ or FBI, suggesting a deliberate coverup to conceal ties between Epstein’s network and powerful figures, including potential government involvement.
• Despite orders to declassify documents, Comer fears evidence was being shredded even before Trump’s transition, raising suspicions of systemic obstruction.
• Comer speculates Epstein’s operation may have been a government-backed blackmail operation, implicating federal officials in enabling sex crimes to exploit influential figures worldwide.
• While Bondi claims the FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands of videos,” critics like Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and activist Laura Loomer dismiss these efforts as inadequate or deceptive, accusing the DOJ of withholding the truth.
• With Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s suspicious death and growing public distrust, the lack of unredacted files fuels fears of a historic suppression of evidence – or a potential bombshell exposing elite corruption.

The long-awaited release of files related to the global network of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and its ties to powerful figures may never happen, as they may have been destroyed in a coverup.

This was the warning issued by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee (HOC), during an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson. The Kentucky congressman suggested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could have already destroyed critical evidence, insinuating that the federal government may have had a hand in concealing Epstein’s crimes.

Despite orders from President Donald Trump and Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi to declassify the documents, Comer claims the files remain missing – or worse, shredded. (Related: AG Bondi: FBI CONCEALED thousands of documents linked to Epstein investigation.)

The HOC chairman, a leading investigator into federal misconduct, revealed his fear that evidence was being destroyed even before the presidential transition from former President Joe Biden to Trump. “I hope they’re not shredding documents right now,” he told Johnson, recalling warnings to allies like Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. “My fear … is that they’re probably in there shredding documents as we speak.”

Comer further suggested Epstein’s operation may have been more than a private criminal enterprise. It could have been a government-backed blackmail scheme done under the auspices of the Deep State, he added.

“Was the government using Epstein and the videos to blackmail the most influential people around the world?” he asked. If true, this would mean federal officials knowingly allowed sex crimes against minors to continue, a revelation that could shatter public trust in institutions.

Epstein’s shadow looms: Will the truth ever come to light?

His concerns echo a broader pattern of obstruction. Comer also shared that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), head of the HOC’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, was reportedly “frustrated” by the DOJ’s refusal to comply.

But Bondi pushed back against Comer’s claims on Wednesday, May 7. She explained to a reporter that the FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children.”

“The FBI is diligently going through that,” the AG continued. “There are hundreds of victims.”

Yet her assurances have done little to quell skepticism, particularly after the initial document release in February was dismissed as insufficient by Trump allies. Luna blasted the effort as a “complete disappointment,” noting: “This is not what we or the American people asked for.”

Meanwhile, political activist Laura Loomer accused Bondi of deception and slammed the former Florida AG as “a total liar.” Loomer, an erstwhile congressional candidate for the Sunshine State, added that Bondi should step down from the Justice Department.

The stakes could not be higher. Epstein’s case has long been a flashpoint for conspiracy theories, but Comer’s allegations – coming from a sitting congressman with oversight authority – lend unprecedented weight to claims of a systemic coverup. With one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers, Virginia Giuffre, having recently died by suicide under suspicious circumstances –  the urgency for transparency grows.

If the files are indeed lost, it would mark one of the most brazen acts of evidence suppression in modern U.S. history. If they surface, they could expose a web of corruption reaching the highest echelons of power. Either way, the American public deserves answers – and Comer’s warnings suggest time may be running out to get them.
