Burchett also took aim at former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for her previous claims regarding the existence of the documents, calling her statements reckless and misleading.
“She was way over her skis when she said, ‘It’s sitting on my desk.’ Now, why the heck would she say that? She’s big-dogging it, and it blew up in her face. That was a stupid move,” Burchett remarked, slamming Bondi’s credibility on the matter.
Bondi had previously insisted she had been misled by the FBI about the extent of the Epstein files.
“I was assured 120 pages was all there was,” Bondi told Mark Levin. “I kept saying, ‘There has to be more.’ Kash Patel asked the same thing and got the same line. Then a whistleblower tipped me off—SDNY was sitting on thousands of pages.”
The latest revelations only deepen suspicions about a broad effort to conceal key evidence. In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Bondi disclosed that the FBI had now received a truckload of Epstein-related documents from the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
Adding another layer to the mystery, Bondi also confirmed she had tasked FBI Director Kash Patel with leading an investigation into why these crucial documents had been withheld in the first place.
Burchett sees the Epstein case as part of a disturbing pattern of government cover-ups, likening it to other infamous cases involving classified information.
“It’s just like the Kennedy files, the UFO files, and RFK and JFK. It’s been too long, and all of a sudden, President Trump starts raising Cain about John F. Kennedy, and suddenly they find 14,000 new files out of the blue,” he pointed out.
“I mean, what is this—Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse that they got this stuff in? I don’t know. It’s ridiculous. It’s a cover-up,” he added, reinforcing his belief that the truth is being deliberately buried.

Rep. Burchett isn’t alone in his skepticism. Other lawmakers are also questioning the authenticity and transparency of any forthcoming Epstein-related disclosures. In a recent interview with Rep. Matt Gaetz on One America News Network (OANN), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, expressed doubts about Bondi’s promised release of the Epstein client list.
“I’m not confident on the Epstein client list because I haven’t had the briefing yet from the Department of Justice. I’ll know more tomorrow on that. But based on what I’m hearing from the attorney general, she keeps saying that she is going to release something, so I’m going to take her at her word for that. Now, whether that something is a full list, we have asked for the full list. We have asked for all the documentation. We are pushing for maximum transparency. But again, we do not hold declassification authority. That is up to the attorney general,” Luna explained.
With mounting pressure from Congress and the public, the question remains: Will Americans ever see the unredacted truth about Epstein’s powerful network, or has the government buried the evidence for good?
