Members of the Trump administration are facing renewed pressure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files following the recent release of details about Robert F. Kennedy's assassination.
On Friday, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced "the American people will, for the first time, have the opportunity to review the federal government's investigation" into the late senator's 1968 assassination.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed Gabbard's excitement.
"RFK Files have been released. Promises Made. Promises Kept," she wrote.

Social media users, however, were not appeased and instead called on the administration to release files related to Epstein's sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
"And revealing nothing that we didn't alredy [sic] know," one X user accused in a follow-up comment on Friday. "Now... What about those Epstein files??"
"Where is the Epstein client list? Promises made, promises broken," Ed Krassenstein, a journalist, wrote.

Promises made, promises broken.
"Dont go there. We are still waiting on the Epstein List. Why are you protecting pedophiles?" a third added.
"Did Epstein change his name to RFK?...," X user @mlsk8r joked.
"Yet the Epstein Files are not released as promised. Expose the evil!!!" @WarOnGlobalism reiterated.
The first batch of long-awaited "declassified Epstein files" was released in February but drew outrage from followers of the case. Many social media users noted that most of the "new" information had been available during Joe Biden's presidency.
At the time, Bondi released a statement about the files, including an accusation that the FBI had not complied with her request. Bondi revealed that "thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein that were not previously disclosed." She further instructed FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate why her request had not been fully carried out.
The Feb. 28 deadline came and went with no updates from the administration.
