Through the recorded assembly, Schnitt alleged that the DOJ was planning to control the discharge of paperwork associated to Jeffrey Epstein’s case. He claimed that “hundreds and hundreds of pages” of information exist and that the division would “redact each Republican or conservative individual in these information, leaving all of the liberal, Democratic individuals intact.”
Schnitt’s feedback did not cease there. He additionally mentioned the switch of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security jail. “She bought transferred to a minimal safety jail. It is in opposition to BOP [Bureau of Prisons] coverage as a result of she’s a convicted intercourse offender. And so they’re not imagined to get minimal safety prisons, which is an fascinating element as a result of she’s getting a profit, which implies they’re providing her one thing to maintain her mouth shut.”

“The pinnacle of FBI [Kash Patel] actually needs to… second-in-command [Dan Bongino] at FBI has been inflicting issues, as a result of he is like, ‘No, these [Epstein Files] should be launched.’ The FBI needs them out. The highest two guys that may do it. However they work for Bondi, so… Bondi needs no matter Trump needs. Internally there’s a whole lot of battle.”

Performing Director Pollak:
I met a girl named Skylar on Hinge, a relationship app, in July 2025, her profile is not findable. We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had la clue, the primary date would have ended instantly and there by no means would have been a second one. My profile indicated I did “Authorities” work however didn’t specify for which company. I by no means mentioned what I do at DOJ.
The feedback I made had been my very own private feedback on what l’ve realized within the media and never from something l’ve executed at or realized through work. I’ve no information of the circumstances surrounding Ms. Maxwell aside from what’s reported within the information. I additionally by no means divulged something about what I do at work. I recall that she requested if I had any information about Maxwell and I particularly stated I solely know what’s been reported within the media.

It makes one marvel. Schnitt holds a senior place inside the DOJ, but his feedback had been dismissed as “misunderstanding and lack of factual foundation.” What data stays hidden within the Epstein case, and who may be protected by continued secrecy? The DOJ does not need us to search out out.
