Omnibus Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell
- Thread starter Tecumsehsbones
- Start date
As of March 2026, UK police are actively investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files and have indicated a need for unredacted documents from the US Department of Justice (DoJ), which is led by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Key Findings:

Key Findings:
- UK Police Investigation & Requests:Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has stated thatUK authorities need "unredacted evidence" from the U.S. files for potential prosecution, with reports suggesting US authorities are playing "hardball" and providing limited traction.
- Bondi’s Handling of Files: Pam Bondi has faced intense scrutiny from US Congress regarding the release of the files, with Democrats walking out of hearings, accusing her of stonewalling, failing to comply with subpoenas, and protecting high-profile individuals.
- Refusal/Delay: While Bondi has argued that all necessary documents have been released and that she is following the law, she has not complied with requests for the full, unredacted files, leading to suspicions of a cover-up. Reports suggest that up to 98% of the data in the DoJ's possession remains unreleased.
- Arrest and Status: Andrew was arrested by UK police on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office following the release of new emails, and was released under investigation.
Edmond de Rothschild Paris offices raided in Epstein-linked probe into diplomat
French investigators raided the Paris offices of Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild as part of a corruption investigation into a diplomat named in documents linked to late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the financial prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.
Sounds like the ex and both kids are involved. Maybe he’s the first? France is going after a Rothchild above, and both hinge on Bondi releasing unreacted Epstein files to UK & France.
President Trump ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi, ending a yearlong tenure atop the Justice Department marked by failed efforts to prosecute his favored targets and a view by the president and his advisers that she mismanaged the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” Trump wrote on social media on Thursday afternoon. The president said Bondi would soon transition to a “much needed and important new job in the private sector.” He didn’t provide details on her new job.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for Trump who was confirmed last year to the second-ranking Justice Department role, will take over on an acting basis. “Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship,” Blanche said in a social-media post.

Bondi presided over a turbulent period at the Justice Department, as she worked to make an agency that historically had operated independently of presidential influence deliver on Trump’s priorities. She took steps that his first-term attorneys general had refused to take, including attempting to prosecute his perceived enemies and hunting for evidence that he beat former President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Bondi oversaw the firings and forced departures of scores of prosecutors and other employees who investigated Trump and his allies in recent years. She even placed a large banner of Trump’s face on the outside of the Justice Department.
Trump has nevertheless privately complained for months about her, describing her as weak and ineffective and saying she had moved too slowly to bring criminal cases against those he saw as adversaries.
In September, Trump singled out James Comey, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and New York Attorney General Letitia James as targets for prosecution in a social-media post he intended as a private message to Bondi pressuring her to bring cases. “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote.
Days later, the Justice Department secured an indictment of Comey charging him with obstruction and lying to Congress. The department later brought charges against James. A federal judge dismissed both cases last year after ruling that the Trump-appointed prosecutor behind them was unlawfully installed in the role.
Which brings us to Epstein, where
Trump blamed Bondi’s handling of FBI files related to Epstein, the convicted sex offender, for creating months of political and personal headaches for him. Facing sustained bipartisan criticism, Bondi was subpoenaed by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee earlier this month to sit for a closed-door deposition in April.
The president weighed firing her in January but ultimately was persuaded not to do so, people familiar with the matter said.

How DARE you suggest that the word of Our Savior, the High and Mighty Donald John Trump, is anything less than the purest Wisdom and Truth!
Syrup-sucking coward! Terrorist scum!
There, pgs, happy now?
In all fairness, Attorney General’s for Trump have not fared well, & Bondi sure did try to appease him…and it was blatant and gross, but there’s only so much she could do and still hold up the pretence of somewhat respecting the law.
At the rate the Department of Justice (snicker) is emptying out, they'll be staffed entirely by lawyers who advertise on bus benches soon.
That is pretty much what I got from a Vietnam vet in Ketchikan for criticizing Richard Nixon , even though he was saying the same . I got escorted out of the bar before he ripped my head off .
From the outside looking in and relying solely on news feeds, it sure seems like there has been a purge of the department of justice in Trump‘s second term, towards anybody that could’ve even been remotely connected to any investigation upon Trump himself from any direction, from Russian involvement to the January 6th debacle, to Epstein affiliations, etc…
While the Attorney General is a political appointee confirmed by the Senate and acts as a key Cabinet advisor to the President, traditional legal norms dictate that the Department of Justice (DOJ) should operate with independence to ensure law enforcement is impartial.
On numerous occasions, Bondi seemed to go out of her way to appease Trump, launching what many prosecutors in the department viewed as weak probes of Trump’s favored targets. Some of those cases were later blocked by judges or grand juries. The Justice Department even had a giant banner with Trump’s face on it hung on its main building, an unprecedented move that illustrated his control over the agency.
Trump had decided earlier in the week that he was replacing her. He was frustrated she didn’t do more to contain fallout from the department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigative files and incensed that she had not successfully prosecuted a number of his political enemies.
Trump had spent the first year of his presidency trying to avoid personnel shake-ups. Now he is contending with low approval ratings, increasingly dim midterm election forecasts, rising gas prices and the war in Iran.
The now former attorney general told others she constantly felt pressure from Trump to deliver more than was legally possible, and that some of his demands were outside of things she could do.
Some White House officials tried to paper over any fallout between the two longtime friends. Bondi is scheduled to testify before Congress under oath April 14 about the Epstein case so she could soon be back in the news.
Bondi was narrowly confirmed by the Senate for her job, winning the backing of just one Democrat, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. She shared Trump’s view that the Biden administration had wielded the Justice Department to target him and other Republicans, and she promised to change course, saying it would be an independent branch of government that would not pursue political enemies.
“This is not about targeting,” she said at the CPAC convention in Maryland two weeks after becoming attorney general in February 2025. “This is not about weaponization. This is about keeping America safe going forward and prosecuting violent criminals.” Then the last 14 months happened.
Bondi “suggested” (?) in a Fox News interview that she had a folder on her desk of Epstein’s clients. “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” she said. “That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”
The Epstein case would lead to some of the biggest cracks that have yet formed in Trump’s conservative coalition. A number of GOP lawmakers bucked the White House and demanded the Justice Department release all files related to the Epstein investigation, rebuking Trump’s efforts to make his allies fall in line. And then the release of (some of?) those documents, which included millions of records, created months of negative news for Democrats, Republicans and global political and business leaders. The scandals only grew.
Bondi promised at the February 2025 CPAC convention that the “weaponization” of the Justice Department wouldn’t continue. Yet soon she found herself under constant pressure to investigate and prosecute people Trump deemed to be his political enemies.
‘I Think It’s Time’: The Inside Story of Pam Bondi’s Ouster — The Wall Street Journal
The attorney general was always on the ropes but thought she was finally on safer footing. She wasn’t.
And anybody who shows insufficient zeal in launching or participating in investigations and/or indictments of whomever Donny is mad at today.
And now you're on the other side. Oh well.
“But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.”
--Patrick O'Brien, Master and Commander
Funny how that happens when one grows up . But being a free agent I am comfortable criticizing all sides .
The firing of Pam Bondi will lead to renewed scrutiny of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files, a story that had faded from the headlines in recent weeks following the start of Trump’s war on Iran, but which now threatens to return to forefront of national attention.
Only about half of the Epstein files have been released to the public so far, in defiance of a law passed by Congress late last year. The fallout of the Epstein scandal has raised questions about the justice department’s redaction choices and about why certain documents were or are still being withheld from publication.
This includes the redaction of powerful men’s names from the Epstein emails, and the choice to withhold files pertaining to one woman’s allegations, made over a series of four interviews with the FBI, that Donald Trump attempted to sexually assault her when she was between 13 and 15 years old.
Trump has denied the claims, and Bondi has denied wrongdoing in the handling of the Epstein documents. But the Trump administration and its officers lie so frequently that many Americans do not give these denials great weight.

Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on April 14, 2026. Despite being removed from her role as Attorney General shortly before the testimony date, House Oversight members (including Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Ro Khanna) have stated the subpoena, which was issued to her by name rather than title, remains in effect.
The scheduled testimony is a deposition aimed at questioning her about the DOJ's handling of the files and the heavy redactions applied to them. The hearing stems from bipartisan criticism of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein files during her tenure, with the subpoena voted on last month.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top democrat on the panel, said Thursday that she is still “legally obligated” to appear for her April 14 deposition date. “Oversight Democrats have been leading serious investigations into Bondi and Secretary Kristi Noem,” he wrote in a statement on Thursday. “If they think we are moving on because they were fired, they are gravely mistaken.”
“She has weaponized the Department of Justice to protect Donald Trump and put survivors in harm’s way by exposing their identities,” said ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) in a statement Thursday. “She will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our Committee under oath.”
Will she believe she has that same protections & immunity as she did as the Attorney General? I don’t doubt she’s intelligent, so will this make a difference?
