## Resource

Former AG Pam Bondi faced fiery congressional scrutiny over the Jeffrey Epstein case files, spending four hours defending DOJ’s handling of the release — which she claimed was done under Trump’s administration with transparency and justice. But when pressed about whether Trump knew of Epstein’s crimes before they became public, Bondi stumbled, leaving lawmakers furious and calling the hearing a “sham.” The files, containing over 38,000 references to Trump, Melania, and their properties, were only released after Congress overrode DOJ resistance. Meanwhile, Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell serves 20 years, and survivors gathered outside the Capitol, only to be pushed back by police as they tried to speak out.
