Attorney General Pam Bondi Says All Jeffrey Epstein Files Have Been Released, Includes List Of More than 300 Names Mentioned

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that all files related to Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the Justice Department. This release is in accordance with a law passed last year aimed at disclosing millions of documents concerning the convicted sex offender. In her letter to Congress, Bondi stated that the Department has made available all "records, documents," and included a list of more than 300 names mentioned in the files (Fox News). Bondi is scheduled to testify before a House of Representatives panel, where she is expected to face questions regarding the handling of Epstein's files. Lawmakers are likely to press her on various aspects of the case, including the implications of the released documents (France24). During her testimony, Bondi encountered challenges from Democratic representatives, including Jasmine Crockett and Ted Lieu, indicating a contentious atmosphere during the hearing (Al Jazeera). In a notable exchange, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal urged Bondi to apologize to Epstein's victims, highlighting the ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of survivors (Al Jazeera). Bondi's response to questions about an apology included a remark to a congressman stating, "your time is up," reflecting her stance during the questioning (CBS News). The release of these files and the subsequent congressional hearing underscore the continuing scrutiny surrounding Epstein's case and its broader implications.
