US EditionBondi Raises Doubts About Epstein File Releases
Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with near-unanimous support requiring DOJ to transmit records within 30 days despite concerns over redactions for ongoing probes.
- On Tuesday, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the Justice Department to transmit records within 30 days, and a White House official said the bill will be signed once it reaches 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
- At a Wednesday press conference, Attorney General Pam Bondi said new and additional information prompted reopening the Epstein probe, reversing her earlier view this year of insufficient evidence, and faced questions with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel.
- Bondi said the matter is now a pending investigation in the Southern District of New York and referred questions there; President Donald Trump called for DOJ probes into Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman, possibly delaying file release.
- Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Epstein's bank records from J.P. Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank and expanded the probe to include Epstein's estate, while Rep. Thomas Massie warned Bondi's withholding is limited and Rep. Ro Khanna said he had no redaction concerns.
- Amid concerns last week, critics say the revived probe could justify heavy redactions, but Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted she will follow the law and provide "maximum transparency under the law.
