Bondi refuses to answer questions about Trump's involvement in Epstein files

4 hours ago

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer questions about President Donald Trump's involvement in the release of Jeffrey Epstein case files during a closed-door House interview.
Bondi defended the Justice Department's handling of the files, stating justice and transparency were delivered under Trump's direction, but acknowledged redaction errors.
Democratic lawmakers criticized the interview as a 'sham,' noting Bondi declined questions about Trump, consulting with DOJ lawyers, and the session was not videotaped.
Survivors of Epstein's abuse gathered outside, urging accountability for the file release, which included victims' personal information, and confronted committee chair Rep. James Comer.
Bondi, recently appointed to a White House AI panel despite being ousted as attorney general, was accompanied by DOJ officials, raising conflict-of-interest concerns among Democrats.
