Democrats came out of the session accusing her of stonewalling, especially when questions turned to Donald Trump, his name appearing in Epstein-related material, and whether the White House influenced what the public did or did not get to see. The testimony also highlighted how much of the Epstein files fight has become a battle over controlled disclosure rather than real accountability.

Republicans, including House Oversight Chair James Comer, framed the interview as part of a broader effort to figure out why documents remain withheld, while Democrats said Bondi’s answers only deepened suspicions that the release was managed to limit political damage.
