Oversight Democrats’ Statement After DOJ Released Previously Withheld Epstein Files Accusing President Trump of Sexual Abuse, Continues White House Cover-Up

(March 6, 2026)

“After Oversight Democrats voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ released a portion of previously-withheld documents with serious allegations against President Trump and an underage victim. The FBI interviewed the witness four times, and the American people can now see some of those documents for themselves.

But let’s be clear: this White House cover-up is ongoing. Millions of pages still remain concealed from the public and our committee. We will get answers when Pam Bondi appears before our committee under oath,” said Sara Guerrero, spokesperson for Oversight Democrats.

This week, Ranking Member Garcia helped secure a subpoena for Attorney General Bondi to testify before the Committee following a motion by Congresswoman Nancy Mace supported by all Committee Democrats.

It‘s up to Congress to disrupt Pam Bondi‘s Epstein cover-up | Opinion

Republicans largely backed Bondi after her last hearing, even after the attorney general inadvertently revealed that her department was secretly tracking what members of Congress searched for when given private access to unredacted Epstein files.

Now, five Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee joined all of the Democrats on March 4 to vote 24-19 to subpoena Bondi to explain why she has been „instrumental in orchestrating the White House‘s cover-up of the Epstein files.“

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews

Several Epstein victims have said that they’ve scoured the DOJ’s website in recent weeks for files documenting their own interviews with the FBI – only to come up empty handed.

“All of us have been looking for our victim statements,” Jess Michaels, who was assaulted by Epstein when she was 22 years old, told CNN after the file release. Heavily redacted and missing interview reports suggest that “this Department of Justice is actually gaslighting the entire country,” Michaels argued.

Interview with FBI naming Epstein co-conspirator completely missing in files: survivor

(February 14, 2026)

According to one of the victims of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a series of emails and the record of an interview she gave with an FBI agent dating back to 2019 is nowhere to be found in what Attorney General Pam Bond’s Department of Justice has released.

Appearing on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,“ Epstein survivor Jess Michaels, who sat in the gallery as Bondi testified on Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, said she has not heard from the DOJ and has had to ask for outside helphelp in tracking down the trail of documents she provided to the FBI.

When the first wave of Epstein files appeared online, survivor Jess Michaels didn‘t look for revelations — she searched for her own name.

She clicked and scrolled for hours, trawling for recognisable details of her own abuse suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. But she found nothing.

„It was exactly what we expected,“ she said.

Rep. Ro Khanna’s Statement on the Arrest of Former Prince Andrew

Washington, DC — Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17), author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, released the following statement on the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor:

„Even princes are not above the law. Rep. Thomas Massie and I forced the release of an email showing former Prince Andrew allegedly shared state information with Epstein. On February 9th, I called on King Charles to investigate and answer questions. Andrew is being held accountable because of the survivors, like Virginia Giuffre, who bravely spoke up.

“We’ve also seen Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resign from DP World, the former Norwegian Prime Minister be charged with gross corruption, Peter Mandelson be fired as ambassador and step down from the House of Lords, Kathryn Ruemmler step down from Goldman Sachs, and other examples of accountability around the world. But why isn’t more being done here? We should start with Howard Lutnick resigning,“ said Rep. Ro Khanna.

“Massive Cover-Up”: Rep. Jayapal Slams AG Pam Bondi over Epstein Files & Spying on Lawmakers

“Essentially, they were spying on us,” says Democratic Congressmember Pramila Jayapal. “It’s certainly not going to stop me from continuing to review the files, but it is absolutely outrageous.”

Jayapal also condemns the Justice Department for refusing to open new investigations into Epstein’s associates listed in the files. “These were rich, powerful, wealthy people, mostly men, who groomed, raped, abused, manipulated young girls,” she says.

Attorney General Pam Bondi at a House Judiciary Committee hearing seemed to have a printout of Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s history of searches of the Department of Justice’s database of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Photos of a black binder that Bondi had at the hearing showed the words “Jayapal Pramila Search History” and a list of documents whose numbers coincide with the numbering of Epstein files.

Watch Live: Bondi testifies at House hearing amid scrutiny over Epstein files

What to know about the Bondi hearing today:

– Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday as the Justice Department continues to face questions about its handling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

– The department has published millions of pages of documents related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019. But extensive redactions and the delayed nature of the release have fueled allegations that the department has failed to fulfill its obligations under the new law requiring the disclosures.

– The hearing also comes after the Justice Department tried and failed to indict six Democratic members of Congress over a video they filmed in November telling members of the military and intelligence community that they must disobey illegal orders. A grand jury declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers on Tuesday, multiple sources told CBS News.

– Bondi is likely to face questions about investigations by the Justice Department and FBI into the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal immigration officers in Minnesota last month.

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, said the Department of Justice’s latest release of records related to its investigation of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein “is not good enough.”

“Coming forward has required extraordinary courage, exposing ourselves to public scrutiny, retaliation and lifelong emotional consequences,” Hobson wrote in a Jan. 18 letter. “We did so with belief in our government and trusting that when Congress passed this law, the Executive Branch would honor it.”

The judge ruled this week that he does not have the authority to enforce the disclosure law, but that Massie and Khanna could file a lawsuit or pursue oversight through legislative means.

“We have several avenues in the legislative branch here,” said Massie. “We could bring contempt, inherent contempt, or even impeachment against Pam Bondi.”

FBI Agent Resigns in Protest as Trump DOJ Investigates Renee Good—Not the ICE Agent Who Killed Her

As the New York Times reported Friday, FBI agent Tracee Mergen, acting supervisor of the office’s Public Corruption Squad, resigned after senior FBI officials in Washington pushed her to end a civil rights probe into the killing. The agency is focusing on investigating Good and her wife, who were legally observing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, instead of determining whether ICE agent Jonathan Ross used excessive force.

An FBI source told CBS News that Mergen “would not bow to pressure” from the agency’s leaders.
