No. Prove me wrong.

They never had control of them.

Prove me wrong.

June 2021:

'"Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people 
were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? 
And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't 
talk about it," the future vice president [JD Vance] posted on X on June 
4, 2021'

December 2021:

'"What possible interest would the US government have in keeping 
Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…" Vance said in a post on X on Dec. 30, 2021.'

May 2023:

'"There are a lot of people who are knee-deep in the Washington swamp 
who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there 
that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing 
things they shouldn't have been doing," said Bongino, who was speaking 
on the "The Dan Bongino Show"'

December 2023:

'Kash Patel, who would become Trump's FBI director, told right-wing 
media personality Glenn Beck on Dec. 13, 2023, that the head of the FBI 
under Biden had direct control of Epstein's "black book." "That's why 
you don't have the black book," Patel added. "And, to me, that's a thing 
I think President Trump should run on. On Day 1, roll out the 'black 
book.'"'

'"It's the same thing with Epstein's list. It's like, what the hell are 
these Republicans doing?" Patel said to right-wing media personality 
Benny Johnson on Dec. 19, 2023, a few months after his "Government 
Gangsters" book on an alleged anti-Trump "deep state" was published. He 
said, "I don't care about the (Epstein) list itself, but release the 
names, right? What the hell are the House Republicans doing? They have 
the majority.'

'Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Fox News' Jesse Watters on Dec. 5, 2023, 
during his 2024 presidential election campaign: "We should get real 
answers on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and any of the high-level 
political people that he was involved with. All of that should be open 
to the public. It should be absolutely transparent." RFK Jr. now serves 
as Trump's secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services. He also told Watters, "I don't see why any of those records 
would have any redactions in them. Why would we be hiding that from the 
American public? I think that's outrageous."'

June 2024:

'"Yeah, yeah, I would (declassify the Epstein files)," Trump said on Fox 
& Friends Weekend on June 3, 2024. "I think that less so because, you 
know, you don't know if, you don't want to affect people's lives if it's 
phony stuff in there, cause there's a lot of phony stuff with that whole 
world. But I think I would." He also said, "Certainly about the way he 
(Epstein) died, it would be interesting to find out what happened there 
because that was a weird situation and the cameras didn't happen to be 
working, etcetera, etcetera. But yeah, I'd go a long way toward that one."'

'"How is it that my father can be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one on 
Epstein's list has even been brought to light?" Donald Trump Jr. said at 
a Turning Point Action convention on June 17, 2024, as he was 
campaigning on behalf of his father. "It's almost like they're trying to 
protect those pedophiles for some reason. I can't imagine why. We're not 
allowed to say they're groomers, but when they act a lot like groomers 
(it) sort of tells you everything you need to know, right?"'

September 2024:

'"A lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately, I was not 
one of them," former President Donald Trump said on podcaster Lex 
Fridman's show on Sept. 3, 2024. Trump added that the list of Epstein's 
clients who went to that island "probably will be" made public. "I'd 
certainly take a look at it."'

October 2024:

'"Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list, Vance, then a U.S. 
Senator and Trump's vice presidential pick, said on Oct. 22, 2024, on 
podcaster Theo Von's show. "That, that is an important thing."'


February 2025:

'Asked whether the Justice Department might release the list of Jeffrey 
Epstein's clients, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News host John 
Roberts Feb. 21, 2025, "It's sitting on my desk right now to review. 
That's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that."'

February 2025:

'Asked about Bondi's promise to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, 
then-counselor to the president Alina Habba said, "We are going to be 
promises made, promises kept," in comments on Piers Morgan's show on 
Feb. 27, 2025. "In this case, in Epstein's case, it is incredibly 
disturbing. We have flight logs, we have information, names that will 
come out." Habba, who is now the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, 
also said, "I won't say they're guilty until they go through their time 
in court, but again, now it's time for accountability."'

'On July 7, the Justice Department, which Bondi leads as attorney 
general, released a memo stating that a "systematic review revealed no 
incriminating 'client list'" and that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. 
"Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither" to combat 
child exploitation nor bring justice to victims, according to the memo. 
"No further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted," it said.'

I know whose in charge right now.

I know what the promised to do.

I know they haven't done it.
