In a closed door interview with the House Oversight Committee, former Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to discuss Donald Trump’s connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Democratic lawmakers, Bondi repeatedly shifted the focus to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who she says is in charge of overseeing the Epstein files release.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) told reporters after the interview:
“It is clear, in just this part of the of the interview, that she continues to push all of the investigation — and the blame — on acting AG Todd Blanche. She said, and I quote, ‘Acting AG Blanche was managing the entire investigation.’
“And what you’re going to hear in that interview, and what she’s saying here in her words and remarks, is that it was Todd Blanche, the current acting AG, that was leading the Epstein investigation.
“And, quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw, the redactions, not protecting survivors, she continues to push that back onto the acting AG Todd Blanche — who, by the way, was Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer.
“I asked former AG Bondi five times about her conversations with President Trump, whether he directed her on the Epstein files, what he knew, and she refused to answer any questions about President Trump.”
