A newly released transcript of Pam Bondi’s congressional testimony shows her defending the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files while emphasizing Todd Blanche’s role in overseeing the document review process.
The Jeffrey Epstein saga is back in the spotlight, and this time, former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is at the center of the conversation.
As CNN reports, a newly released transcript of Bondi’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee shows her vigorously defending the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files controversy. During the closed-door session, Bondi repeatedly stressed that oversight of the document review process had been delegated to then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Lawmakers questioned Bondi about the release of millions of pages tied to the Epstein investigation, including concerns about redaction errors and whether enough transparency had been provided to the public. Bondi acknowledged mistakes were made but maintained that the department had acted in good faith throughout the process.
The testimony has intensified scrutiny on Blanche, who is now facing growing pressure from lawmakers seeking more answers about how the files were reviewed and released. Critics argue that key questions remain unanswered, while supporters insist the administration has already provided unprecedented access to records.
With congressional investigations continuing and public interest refusing to fade, the Epstein files remain a political flashpoint. The release of Bondi’s testimony transcript is unlikely to close the debate instead, it may have opened a new chapter in an already controversial saga.
