The US Department of Justice has made good on its promise to release classified information about Jeffrey Epstein.
Pam Bondi, the attorney general, teased on Wednesday night (February 26) that she would release previously sealed documents related to the prolific child sex trafficker that will 'make you sick'.
Now, the bombshell dossier has been dropped, containing information about the billionaire's activity during the height of his horrifying sex trafficking crimes from his private island.
The documents include some of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's flight logs, Epstein's so-called 'black book' plus a 'lot of names' of people who had connections to him, as Bondi hinted this week on Fox News.

"This will make you sick," she said to the news outlet. "There are well over 250 victims so we have to make sure that their identity is protected and [so is] their personal information."
Among the files that have been released include some heavy redactions from prosecutors, made to protect victims' identities.
A new document that has never been seen by the public before includes what the Justice Department has dubbed the 'Evidence List'.
The three-page catalog shows some 150 items that that police found in Epstein's homes in New York and the US Virgin Islands.
Among a long list of seized tech and hard drives, some stand-out sickening items include a CD labelled 'girls pics nude book 4', a folder called 'LSJ logbook', appearing to reference Epstein's private island, Little St James, and other photo albums of 'girls' and pictures of 'female buttocks.'
An array of sex toys and massage tables are also on the list of items seized as well as a bag 'containing one yellow envelope marked 'SK' dated 08/27/08 containing multiple smaller envelopes containing $17,115.'
Epstein was in jail in Palm Beach, Florida, on that date.
Bondi said the bundle is just the 'first phase of files' that the department will release, adding that it 'sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability.'
Bondi and the wider Department of Justice had been under intense criticism from across the political spectrum to release the disgraced financier's 'trafficking client list' that had been 'sitting on [her] desk'.
The newly appointed FBI boss, Kash Patel, told a Senate hearing that his team is preparing to investigate all the individuals that are found to be linked to the late 66-year-old.
The news also comes as handfuls of legal files were released last year that mentioned several high-profile names in connection with the pedophile and Ghislaine Maxwell, from Prince Andrew to Bill Clinton and even President Donald Trump.
Trump was also named in the flight logs released yesterday, with the president recorded as having taken three flights with 'JE' - Epstein - in 1993 and 1994, with 'GM' - presumably Maxwell - onboard the 1993 as well.
The documents didn't contain any substantial evidence that any of the individuals named knew or had participated in any wrongdoing, and their names were mixed in with Epstein's accusers and alleged victims.
The financier who rubbed shoulders with A-list celebrities and royalty was accused of curating an elite social circle that sexually abused women and young girls.
While awaiting trial in 2019, Epstein took his own life from his jail cell.
