## Resource

Pam Bondi’s congressional transcript showed her trying to defend the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files while repeatedly distancing herself from the day-to-day mechanics of the review. She told House Oversight lawmakers that Todd Blanche was the official “in charge” of the Epstein records process, saying she did not personally conduct the document review and that the work had been delegated to him. Bondi acknowledged that mistakes were made, including redaction problems, but framed the release as a massive and difficult undertaking rather than a deliberate attempt to obstruct transparency. At the same time, she insisted the department was committed to accountability, even as lawmakers pressed her on why the disclosures remained incomplete, flawed, or slow-moving. The transcript also showed Bondi trying to avoid directly blaming Blanche while making clear that he was the person managing the release. She praised him as ethical and capable, but Democrats seized on her answers as evidence that Blanche, along with other DOJ and FBI officials, should be brought before Congress to explain the process in detail. Bondi also said she learned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison transfer from news reports, denied involvement in that decision, rejected the idea of a Maxwell pardon, and refused to discuss private conversations with Donald Trump. The result was a transcript that did not settle the Epstein files controversy, but instead widened the accountability fight by making clear that Congress still does not have a clean answer on who controlled the review, why errors happened, and whether the public has truly received the full record. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf
