Pam Bondi's Testimony on Epstein Files Criticized by Democrats as a 'Sham'
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding her handling of the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats criticized the session, labeling it a 'sham' and a 'coverup,' as Bondi reportedly refused to answer several questions about President Trump. The session was closed-door, and Bondi was accompanied by Department of Justice attorneys, including Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who allegedly intervened to prevent certain questions from being answered. The committee plans to release a transcript of the interview, which was not recorded on video. Bondi was subpoenaed in March but only agreed to a voluntary interview after Democrats sought to hold her in contempt. During the session, Bondi reportedly blamed Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for issues with the file release, a claim she later disputed on social media.
