Jesse Watters has expressed frustration over the recent release of long-anticipated documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, 

arguing that government officials have been “duped” and are now left with “no one to protect but themselves.” 

The Fox News host voiced his concerns during a segment on his show, 

questioning the limited nature of the document release and suggesting that critical files remain hidden from the public.

The initial batch of declassified records included Epstein’s infamous “little black book,” some flight logs, and a redacted list of masseuses. 

However, many of these documents have already been available in the public domain for years, leading to widespread disappointment over the lack of new revelations.

Watters referenced a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel, in which Bondi criticized the agency for withholding thousands of crucial documents. Bondi specifically pointed to the FBI’s New York field office, accusing it of failing to disclose the full scope of evidence related to Epstein’s case.

During his broadcast, Watters speculated that the New York FBI office, which he claims is controlled by individuals disloyal to former President Donald Trump, may have deliberately held back key documents. He pointed to figures like James E. Dennehy, the assistant director in charge of the office, who previously warned staff about being in the midst of a “battle” following Trump’s purge of agents involved in the January 6 investigations.

Another individual mentioned was Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney who had worked on both Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s cases. Watters highlighted that she is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, who was dismissed by Trump during his first term, suggesting that political motivations could be influencing the release of information.

Watters posed a critical question: “Epstein was facing sex trafficking charges in lower Manhattan—where’s all that paperwork?” He pointed out that extensive evidence had been collected from Epstein’s various properties, yet many crucial documents remain unseen. He also questioned why the Department of Justice’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein had not been fully disclosed.

The Fox News anchor further suggested that Epstein may have had ties to intelligence agencies, which could explain why the government appears hesitant to release all related materials. “Was he a double agent? He had dirt on everyone and a knack for making cash, and now he’s dead. So the government has no one to protect but themselves,” Watters said.

Bondi had initially promised that the document release would be significant, but she later revealed that key records were missing. She stated that an inside source had informed her that the FBI’s New York office was still in possession of thousands of additional files that had not been provided to her.

The officially declassified material was posted on the Department of Justice’s website late Thursday, accompanied by a note emphasizing the agency’s commitment to transparency. The first phase of released files included copies of flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, a redacted version of his contact book, and a list of over 250 masseuses. However, no new groundbreaking information was revealed.

The contact book contained names from the worlds of politics, entertainment, and business, including Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Naomi Campbell, and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Other notable figures such as Harvey Weinstein, Alan Dershowitz, and former U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy were also listed. While these names have long been associated with Epstein’s social circle, there is no evidence suggesting their direct involvement in his crimes.

Criticism over the document release comes amid growing calls for full transparency in the Epstein case. Many Americans have been waiting for a comprehensive disclosure of FBI files, especially after Trump had promised to declassify them during his presidency.

Epstein, who was facing charges of sex trafficking and other serious crimes, died in his jail cell in August 2019. His death, ruled as a suicide, has been the subject of widespread speculation, with many believing that powerful figures sought to silence him to protect their own interests. His longtime confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted of multiple charges related to sex trafficking.

As part of the document release, the Justice Department also made public an evidence list containing over 150 items, including massage tables, sex toys, and photographs. However, it remains unclear whether the list pertains solely to Epstein’s case, Maxwell’s trial, or additional investigations.

Watters also addressed the way the Trump administration has handled the release of information. He noted that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently announced changes to the press pool selection process, allowing independent journalists and social media influencers greater access to government briefings.

Several right-wing influencers, including Jessica Reed Kraus and Mike Cernovich, were among the select few who received printed binders of the Epstein files. Kraus took to social media, sharing that Trump personally told them they were “the most trusted media now” and credited them with helping him win public trust.

Despite the document release, many questions remain unanswered. Watters and others continue to push for full disclosure, arguing that the government’s reluctance to be completely transparent only fuels conspiracy theories and distrust. With thousands of pages still allegedly hidden, the fight for the full truth surrounding Epstein’s connections and activities is far from over.
