The long-awaited release of the Jeffrey Epstein files has hit yet another snag, with Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing a delay due to concerns that the documents might cast a shadow on Israel, America’s greatest ally.
Bondi, who has been teasing the release of these files since taking office, cited the need to scrub any potential antisemitic undertones from the records before they see the light of day. The decision has sparked a flurry of speculation, with some suggesting the files could reveal Epstein’s ties to Israeli figures, a possibility that has the Justice Department on high alert.
Ian Carroll, a researcher known for diving deep into conspiracies, has previously pointed out the financier’s connections to Israeli intelligence, including his ties to Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister who was photographed entering Epstein’s New York mansion in 2016. Carroll has argued that Epstein’s operations may have overlapped with foreign intelligence networks, a claim that now seems to have the DOJ clutching its pearls.
“We can’t risk anything that might upset our greatest ally,” Bondi said to reporters. The Attorney General didn’t specify what in the files might trigger such a reaction, but the move has fueled theories that the documents could expose uncomfortable truths about Epstein’s global web of influence.
Meanwhile, Bondi has shifted her focus to a pressing investigation into antisemitism at the University of California, where students have reportedly been chanting slogans that don’t align with the approved narrative. The probe aims to root out any form of dissent on campus, a mission that apparently takes precedence over the Epstein saga.
Critics have noted the timing, pointing out that the university investigation conveniently coincides with the latest delay in releasing the files.
“Israel’s security is non-negotiable, and we’ll hold these files until we’re sure they won’t spark a riot,” an unnamed DOJ official told reporters. The statement came just days after posts on X suggested Bondi was stalling the Epstein release to prioritize campus politics.
Epstein, who died in 2019 under circumstances that still baffle the public, was known for hobnobbing with the rich and powerful, including a roster of politicians, billionaires, and foreign dignitaries.
His ties to Israel, as highlighted by Carroll, include not just Barak but also potential links to Mossad through his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father, Robert Maxwell, was an Israeli operative.
As of March 6, 2025, the Epstein files remain under lock and key, with Bondi’s office promising a thorough review.
“The files could start a war, or worse, a hashtag campaign,” a congressional aide told The Washington Wick, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Whether the Epstein documents will ever emerge unscathed — or at all — remains anyone’s guess.
