GOP Rep Says He Believes Epstein Files Were Destroyed

UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – Sixteen House Democrats accuse Pam Bondi of withholding Epstein files to shield former President Trump, demanding the Justice Department release all related documents immediately.

  • Tennessee Republican Representative Tim Burchett said on NewsNation that he believes the Jeffrey Epstein files once existed but were destroyed.
  • Burchett attributed the destruction of the files to the Biden administration but admitted he lacks proof and said the Justice Department found no client list.
  • The DOJ and FBI reviewed the evidence and concluded Epstein died by suicide, with no indication of murder or blackmail against prominent individuals.
  • Burchett suggested some "very prominent people," including Hollywood celebrities and world leaders, might have been implicated, and Trump called Epstein "this creep" who has been discussed for years.
  • The conflicting claims and absence of released files have left transparency advocates confused, while Burchett’s accusations and the administration's stance imply the case remains officially closed.
