Pam Bondi calls Rep. Massie a failed politician with Trump Derangement Syndrome

Rep. Massie accused the DOJ of incomplete compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act during a House hearing where Bondi said redactions were corrected within 40 minutes.

  • At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on February 11, 2026, Pam Bondi confronted Thomas Massie, calling him a failed politician during a dispute over Epstein documents.
  • Facing questions about redactions, Massie argued the DOJ failed to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and questioned why billionaire Les Wexner's name remained redacted, despite being listed as a co-conspirator.
  • Bondi said `We corrected that within 40 minutes`, explaining the redaction was fixed and Wexner's name was added back, and she noted that under former Attorney General Merrick Garland no one raised Epstein during prior oversight.
  • The exchange produced procedural friction as Massie reclaimed his time and argued the issue spans multiple presidencies, saying it 'goes over four administrations,' snapping at Bondi within 40 minutes.
  • The DOJ has released millions of Epstein documents, but some names remain redacted, prompting bipartisan pressure from Massie and Ro Khanna to improve transparency.
