This is horseshit,saidDavid J. Reilly, a self-proclaimed #AmericaFirst radio host.
Now she wants to pretend like shes a victim?
What deep state are we talking about?

Journalist Ken Klippensteinmade the observationthat presidents have unilateral authority to declassify documents that they feel should be public.
Again, the MAGA world seemed to be having its wires crossed by this apparent contradiction.

Indeed, Bondi released a letter that she claimed to have sent to newly sworn-in FBI director Kash Patel.
According to Bondi, she asked the FBI for all of the Epstein documents but only received 200 pages.
The#Epsteinfilesare a total joke.
