Journalist Tara Palmeri said Tuesday President Donald Trump and his administration are "pushing deadlines back" when it comes to the documents related to convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, only giving out "small pieces to appease their base."

During an appearance on CNN Tuesday, Palmeri, who has been reporting on the Epstein controversy, said, "I would think that these documents are going to be very limited. I obviously would love to see all of the gigabytes that they're holding on to: The Evidence, the surveillance. the photos that I've been told of from senior law enforcement sources that they are holding on to."

She continued: "But, as you have heard and see from your own reporters and reporting, they are kicking this down -- they are kicking the can down the road. They're pushing deadlines back. They're releasing limited amounts of files, and we just know that this is -- this is happening in private."

She added that these should be public hearings where everyone is called on to speak, including FBI director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and even Trump.
