Pam Bondi Faces Congress on Epstein Files as Survivors Doubt Answers
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to answer questions from Congress over the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related records, but several survivors say they are entering the hearing with limited expectations that it will produce new answers.
The testimony follows months of criticism surrounding the government’s release of Epstein documents, including disputes over redactions, victim protections, and whether all responsive materials have been made public. Lawmakers from both parties have questioned DOJ officials about the process and pushed for additional transparency.
Several survivors have publicly expressed frustration with federal officials, arguing that victims have been sidelined while political battles over the files intensified. Survivor Marina Lacerda previously said she expected more from Bondi and questioned whether victims were being treated as a priority.

The controversy has grown beyond the original document releases. Congressional committees have pursued testimony and records amid ongoing questions about unreleased materials, redaction decisions, and how the Justice Department handled sensitive victim information.
What happens during Bondi’s appearance could shape the next phase of congressional oversight. Lawmakers are expected to press for explanations about disclosure decisions and whether additional records connected to Epstein remain unavailable to the public.
For survivors seeking accountability, however, the hearing arrives after years of investigations, document disputes, and unanswered questions that continue to surround one of the most scrutinized criminal cases in recent memory.
