Former AG Bondi Claims She Lacked Authority in the Release of Epstein Files

HeadlineJun 01, 2026

During a closed-door testimony with the House Oversight Committee on Friday, former Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed she lacked real authority in overseeing the release of the Epstein files. Instead, she blamed her successor, Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer. Bondi also reportedly told committee members that Blanche was managing “the entire investigation” and determined which documents would be released — that’s according to Congressmember Robert Garcia of California, the ranking Democrat on the committee.
