Ex-Trump AG Pam Bondi testifies again in Congress over Epstein case

Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Friday to address her management of the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Her testimony is taking place under less formal circumstances, as she was dismissed from her position by President Donald Trump on April 2.

Consequently, Bondi's statement does not require a sworn oath or formal recording. She was initially subpoenaed in March by Republican Representative Nancy Mace, with support from four other Republicans and all committee Democrats. Mace expressed concerns about the committee not receiving all the necessary information and documents, stating, "We are missing over 65,000 documents and we know there are over 2,000 videos circulating. They are not providing Congress with all the information and all the documents, and they are hiding information."

This is not Bondi's first appearance before Congress concerning the Epstein case. In February, she underwent a contentious hearing that drew criticism from lawmakers and the public. Critics cited her perceived lack of sensitivity towards Epstein's victims and her failure to clarify the Justice Department's transparency regarding the case documents. This earlier intervention was reportedly one of the factors contributing to her dismissal from her role.
