US EditionUS Lawmakers Threaten Pam Bondi with Contempt Action over Unreleased Epstein Material
Congressmen threaten inherent contempt and legal action against AG Bondi for partial, heavily redacted release of Epstein files, with over 13,000 documents still withheld, lawmakers say.
- On Sunday, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie announced they will move to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in inherent contempt of Congress, building a bipartisan coalition to fine her daily for noncompliance.
- Last month, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act giving the DOJ 30 days to disclose records, but critics say the Friday release was incomplete and heavily redacted.
- Fuming at Attorney General Pam Bondi, Khanna said the redactions are a `slap in the face of survivors`, and Massie told CBS' `Face the Nation` the quickest way to get justice is to hold Bondi in contempt.
- Khanna and Massie proposed fining Attorney General Pam Bondi daily for noncompliance, warning inherent contempt lets Congress fine or detain officials and could enable prosecuting DOJ officials.
- The DOJ has made over 13,000 files public, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying attorneys methodically redact victims' names and photos, while critics expect more releases in the coming weeks.
