AG Pam Bondi confirms DOJ will release Epstein flight logs and names

MxM News
Quick Hit:
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Wednesday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to release information related to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday. Speaking with Jesse Watters on Jesse Watters Primetime, Bondi stated: “What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.”
Key Details:
-
Bondi’s comments come as Republican lawmakers continue to push the DOJ to declassify files related to Epstein, as well as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
-
Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna had been pressing the DOJ for answers and confirmed receiving a response acknowledging her request for a briefing on the matter.
-
President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month directing federal agencies to establish a process for releasing classified documents, including those tied to the Epstein case.
Diving Deeper:
On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi disclosed that the DOJ is preparing to release key documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, signaling a potentially significant development in the case. Appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime, Bondi noted that the release would include flight logs, names, and additional information. “It’s pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant,” she remarked, underscoring the disturbing nature of Epstein’s network.
Bondi’s announcement follows increasing pressure from Republican lawmakers, particularly Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who has been leading efforts to obtain declassified records related to Epstein and several high-profile assassinations. Luna, who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said she received a response from the DOJ after sending multiple inquiries on Feb. 11th and Feb. 19th. The letter from Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis confirmed that the department is reviewing the request but did not provide a definitive timeline for the full release.
The DOJ’s delayed response prompted Luna to take to social media earlier this week, urging the agency to comply with Trump’s recent executive order. The order instructed the DOJ to coordinate with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and White House Counsel David Warrington to formulate a release plan for the JFK files by Feb. 7th and the MLK and Robert F. Kennedy files by March 9th.
In addition to the assassination records, Luna is demanding transparency regarding Epstein’s client list. Bondi previously indicated that the DOJ was reviewing that information alongside the Kennedy and King files. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

China Election Interference – Parties Received Security Briefing Days Ago as SITE Monitors Threats to Conservative Candidate Joe Tay

SITE says it is concerned about the Hong Kong bounty on Joe Tay and is monitoring the situation, but confirms intervention in the Chiang case is not within its powers
Canada’s election threat monitoring body has confirmed that national party leaders received a classified security briefing late last week, as public concerns mount over threats tied to transnational repression and a widening controversy involving Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s remarks about Conservative candidate Joe Tay.
The revelation came Monday during a public update by the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force. Allen Sutherland, a senior Privy Council Office official and SITE leader, confirmed the briefing referenced today by Prime Minister Mark Carney covered high-level threat assessments and involved security-cleared representatives from each political party. While SITE would not confirm whether Chiang’s remarks were specifically addressed, the timing suggests they may have been a factor.
“I can speak to a portion of it,” Sutherland said in response to a question from The Canadian Press. “Last week, political parties received a briefing — a security briefing — on threats at the classified level. These are the cleared party representatives of each of the parties. So that briefing took place late last week.”
A CBC reporter also pressed SITE officials on whether they were concerned by Chiang’s comment suggesting Tay could be delivered to the Chinese Consulate to collect a bounty. “I would say SITE is concerned about the bounty placed by Hong Kong on Mr. Tay,” said Laurie Ann Kempton of SITE. “We are aware of the comments.”
Asked what candidates should do if they face similar threats, Kempton said: “They should contact police of local jurisdiction immediately. They are also able to contact SITE and the RCMP if they have other concerns, and we will look at it from there.”
Joe Tay has stated publicly that he fears for his safety and has contacted the RCMP. Asked if police have reached out to Tay proactively, SITE official Greg O’Hayon said: “I’d have to get back to you specifically on whether the RCMP has reached out to Mr. Tay.” He added: “If candidates feel under threat, either immediate or not, I would encourage them to reach out to their local police as well as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service so that we can have a combined response to real and perceived threats.”
SITE officials confirmed that the bounty placed on Tay — a Canadian citizen and pro-democracy activist wanted by Hong Kong authorities under Beijing’s National Security Law — is being tracked as a live case of transnational repression. Officials described the recirculation of bounty-related content online as a coercive tactic employed by Beijing to chill political participation in diaspora communities.
“Spreading the information about the bounty is precisely how malign foreign states seek to silence, harass and coerce,” one SITE official said.
Tay’s situation has quickly become a flashpoint in the 2025 federal election campaign. The Chiang controversy erupted after reports surfaced late last week, based on Ming Pao reporting, indicating that during a January meeting with Chinese-language journalists, Chiang said of Tay: “If you can take him to the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto, you can get the million-dollar reward.”
Chiang also told the exclusive gathering of Chinese journalists that Tay’s election to Parliament, while under a Beijing-issued arrest warrant, would cause a “great controversy.”
Chiang has since said his comment was made in jest and issued a social media apology. But Tay rejected the gesture in a press release Monday, calling it “unsolicited” and demanding that Liberal leader Mark Carney remove Chiang as a candidate.
“Threats like these are the tradecraft of the Chinese Communist Party,” Tay said. “They are intended to send a chilling signal to the entire community in order to force compliance to Beijing’s political goals. This situation has left me fearing for my safety.”
SITE also issued a broader warning on Monday: Canada is seeing a rise in both physical and digital transnational repression, including online harassment, smear campaigns, AI-generated deepfakes, and attempts to dox critics of authoritarian regimes.
“In 2023, we informed the public about a targeted online information operation… aimed at silencing critics of the Chinese Communist Party,” said the SITE representative from Global Affairs Canada. “Now, we’ve seen new operations using deepfake content, including sexually explicit images, to further that goal.”

Joe Tay Says He Contacted RCMP for Protection, Demands Carney Fire MP Over “Bounty” Remark

Sam Cooper
‘Threats are the tradecraft of the Chinese Communist Party to interfere in Canada … they are intended to send a chilling signal to the entire community‘ Tay states
Joe Tay, the Conservative candidate in Don Valley North, issued a formal statement Monday demanding that Liberal leader Mark Carney remove MP Paul Chiang as the candidate for Markham–Unionville, citing Chiang’s threatening comments and an unsolicited attempt to contact him.
“Mark Carney must fire Paul Chiang,” Tay said in the release. “His threatening public comments were intended to intimidate me, and they must not be tolerated.”
Tay also revealed he has already engaged the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for personal protection, citing growing safety concerns — even before Chiang’s remarks became public.
“This situation has left me fearing for my safety,” he said.
Tay, a Hong Kong-Canadian democracy activist, is wanted by authorities in Hong Kong under the territory’s sweeping National Security Law. In January, Chiang told Chinese-language media that Tay could be brought to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto to collect a one-million-dollar bounty. The remarks, first reported by Ming Pao and widely condemned across party lines, are under growing scrutiny amid allegations of foreign interference in Canada’s 2025 federal election.
Tay confirmed Monday that Chiang made an unsolicited attempt to contact him over the weekend and then posted publicly that he had issued an apology.
“I want to be clear: no apology is sufficient,” Tay said. “Threats like these are the tradecraft of the Chinese Communist Party to interfere in Canada. And they are not just aimed at me — they are intended to send a chilling signal to the entire community in order to force compliance to Beijing’s political goals.”
