YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi remained tight-lipped about the Justice Department’s handling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files in a long-sought interview with Hill lawmakers, Democrats said on Friday, repeatedly noting that her successor – Todd Blanche – was largely in charge.

In a statement ahead of her Capitol Hill sit-down, Bondi offered a robust defense of the department’s release of those files, arguing that the DOJ “demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to transparency” during her tenure. Inside the room, however, Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee insist that Bondi offered no substantive answers to their questions — including how much President Donald Trump himself knew about Epstein’s crimes at the time. Instead, Rep. Robert Garcia said Bondi sought to foist “blame on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche,” her one-time deputy.
