Former Attorney General Pam Bondi walked into Congress Friday with a carefully worded defense of the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, but the most revealing line in her prepared statement was not about transparency. It was about Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Facing questions from the House Oversight Committee over the Trump administration's release of Epstein-related records, Bondi said she did not personally lead the document review that determined which materials were released, withheld, redacted or deemed exempt.
