Republican lawmakers have warned President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi that withholding any documents relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case “would add fuel to the fire.”

The warning comes as Trump caved to pressure and signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act Wednesday evening, while Bondi fumbled her way through questions on how the Justice Department would proceed now that it has 30 days to release the files.

Bondi has changed her stance on the matter a number of times this year, prompting fierce criticism from the MAGA base and beyond.

There are concerns from both sides of the aisle that she could cite the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s ties to Democratic associates, ordered by Trump last week, as a reason to withhold the files.

“You can adjust for whatever investigations are going on but if you do a blanket hold, I think that they’re going to have a lot of people angry,” GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina told The Hill.

Anyone with more than 2 braincells knew the whole thing may be political theatre.

Everyone shouting and brigading "release the Epstein files" on irrelevant posts across all of internet were just absolute retards. They must feel really accomplished when they get a black book with only democrats name lined up on the first page.

The right is already mocking these incompetent fools and democrats again act like this isn't acceptable and they'll fight for the "people".

And a new round of "release something we can use to waste everyone's time" will start.
