Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has testified behind closed doors before a House Oversight Committee as lawmakers continue investigating how documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case were handled and released.
During the hearing, Bondi defended the Justice Department’s actions, stating that millions of pages of records—including photos and video material—were made public under her leadership. She said the process was extensive and intended to increase transparency, but acknowledged that some redaction errors occurred.
Lawmakers are still divided over whether the government fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required all relevant Justice Department records to be released within a set deadline. Critics argue that some documents remain undisclosed or were improperly redacted, including information that may have exposed victims’ identities.
Bondi maintained that any withheld material was reviewed according to legal requirements, describing it as either irrelevant, privileged, or duplicative. She also emphasized that she did not personally oversee every part of the review process, delegating much of the work to senior Justice Department officials.
The hearing comes amid ongoing political tensions over the handling of the Epstein investigation, with some lawmakers demanding full disclosure of all remaining files and others questioning whether the administration has met its obligations.
Survivors of Epstein’s abuse have also continued to call for greater transparency, urging officials to release all documents and testify under oath.
The House Oversight Committee is expected to continue its inquiry with additional interviews in the coming weeks.
