Attorney General Bondi and Deputy AG Blanche Set to Brief Lawmakers on DOJ’s Handling of Epstein Files

HeadlineMar 18, 2026

Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche are set to brief lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee on the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files later today. Committee Chair James Comer subpoenaed Bondi yesterday, writing in a letter, “As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts.” Meanwhile, a New York Times review of thousands of pages of Justice Department documents found that the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein spent heavily on a rotating team of search engine optimization experts, self-described hackers and content writers to reshape how he appeared on Google and Wikipedia after his 2008 sex crimes conviction.
