Pam Bondi Defends DOJ Handling of Epstein Files During Congressional Testimony
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the Department of Justice’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files during testimony before members of Congress, arguing that the department acted lawfully and in the interest of transparency.
Bondi acknowledged redaction errors but maintained the DOJ released millions of pages of records and complied with disclosure requirements. Lawmakers from both parties continue questioning why some materials remain withheld and whether the review process was conducted fairly. Survivors and advocates have also criticized aspects of the release, arguing that sensitive personal information was improperly exposed while other records remain unavailable.
