Todd Blanche was ‘in charge’ of Epstein matter, Bondi told lawmakers, according to new transcript
Bondi said Blanche was in charge of the Epstein file release as the Justice Department faced criticism over millions of withheld documents.
- On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee released a 111-page transcript showing former Attorney General Pam Bondi stating that Todd Blanche "was in charge" of overseeing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files.
- Bondi previously faced scrutiny in February 2025 after claiming an Epstein client list was "sitting on my desk," later clarifying she meant broader case files as the Justice Department released approximately 3 million files.
- Blanche's oversight record faces scrutiny as his name is attached to two major controversies of President Trump's second term: Epstein matters and a $1.8 billion weaponization fund established through a controversial settlement.
- During the interview, Bondi told the committee she had "nothing to do with" the controversial transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, which followed Blanche's two-day interview with Maxwell.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon repeatedly invoked executive privilege during the interview to shield discussions with President Trump, as the administration manages political fallout while Blanche faces a challenging confirmation process.
