Former Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation today during a closed-door interview with lawmakers. Over nearly four hours of questioning before the House Oversight Committee, Bondi said the department, under her leadership, was committed to securing justice for Epstein's victims.
She declined to answer questions about President Trump. Bondi also acknowledged mistakes in the release of investigative records, saying -- quote -- "There were redaction errors. But since day one of this process, this department has been committed to accountability and transparency."
Some survivors of Epstein's abuse waited outside of the interview room today and called for Bondi to take accountability.
Dani Bensky, Jeffrey Epstein Survivor:
I just hope that she does have a moment where she remembers her own humanity and our humanity and finds her compassion and remembers that this is a bigger story than political rhetoric.
