US lawmakers grill Pam Bondi over handling of Epstein files

Democratic lawmakers have grilled United States Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the files pertaining to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, during a combative hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Wednesday’s hearing was entitled “Oversight of the US Department of Justice”, but the Epstein files quickly became a primary focus. “ As attorney general, you are siding with the perpetrators, and you’re ignoring the victims,” Democrat Jamie Raskin told Bondi at the outset. “That will be your legacy unless you act quickly to change course. You’re running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Department of Justice.” Since the start of his second term, US President Donald Trump and his administration have consistently faced questions about the decision to withhold or redact documents related to Epstein. Trump himself has come under the microscope for his personal relationship to the late financier, who died in his jail cell in 2019 while awaiting federal charges.
