Pam Bondi’s 34 ‘I don’t recall’ answers spark Epstein document cover-up row

  • Pam Bondi repeatedly stated “I don't recall” at least 34 times during her congressional interview concerning Jeffrey Epstein , demonstrating a lack of memory regarding survivors, document redactions, and investigations into high-profile figures.
  • Bondi asserted that her deputy, Todd Blanche , was responsible for the 'entire release' of the Epstein documents, though she quickly clarified she was not “placing blame” and praised Blanche's performance as acting attorney general.
  • She claimed she only learned of Ghislaine Maxwell 's prison transfer after it occurred and expressed that Maxwell “should die in prison”, describing her as a “monster” akin to Epstein.
  • Lawmakers challenged Bondi on why approximately three million Epstein documents remain unreleased, despite her assertion that all files had been made public, leading to accusations of a government-wide cover-up.
  • Separately, the Republican-led committee has referred former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine and hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution following an interview with Epstein's former assistant, Sarah Kellen.
