Bondi set for Jeffrey Epstein questioning from House Oversight lawmakers
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will appear before House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigators Friday, a victory for the panel after the Department of Justice (DOJ) argued she should not have to answer questions about the Epstein files.
It’s an unusual appearance in several respects.

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.
Survivors search the Jeffrey Epstein files but find no sign of their evidence
(December 20, 2025)
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.
Prince Andrew was just arrested. This was the metric I established for success of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that @RepRoKhannaand and I got passed. Now we need JUSTICE in the United States. It’s time for @AGPamBondi and @FBIDirectorKash to act!

After former Prince Andrew’s arrest due to Epstein connections, members of Congress call for more
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who drew President Donald Trump’s ire amid his successful push to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act in Congress last year, urged federal officials to follow the example of their British counterparts.
“Prince Andrew was just arrested,” he wrote on X on Thursday. “This was the metric I established for success of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that [Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.)] and I got passed. Now we need JUSTICE in the United States. It’s time for [Attorney General Pam Bondi] and [FBI Director Kash Patel] to act!”
“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.
‘Stop This Spying’: Members of Congress Accuse the DOJ of Surveilling Lawmakers’ Epstein Files Searches
(February 12, 2026)
Mace told NPR that “there is someone or two people from the DOJ monitoring you as you sit on those computers” and that lawmakers are given their “own identification” upon being logged into the computers by a “tech person” at the department. “They are tracking all of the documents that members of Congress open, and they‘re tracking everything that you do in that room,“ she said.
Epstein files: AG Pam Bondi seemed to have Rep. Jayapal’s DOJ database search history at hearing
(February 12, 2026)
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.

Epstein files: Ro Khanna says DOJ’s latest release is ‘not good enough’
(February 1, 2026)
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.”
“If we don’t get the remaining files… then Thomas Massie and I are prepared to move on impeachment or contempt,” Khanna said Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Rep. Massie weighs options to force compliance with Epstein files law
“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.
‘Dark, Bizarre Stuff’: White House Posts Deepfake Image of Arrested ICE Protester Crying
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the protesters had been charged under the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, which makes illegal any conspiracy to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate,” people from exercising “any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States.”
In her post, Noem shared a photo of Levy Armstrong being led away by an agent, whose face is pixelated to hide his identity. In the photo, Levy Armstrong appears stone-faced and unfazed by the arrest.
Hours later, the official White House account shared the exact same image—accompanied by text describing her as a “far-left agitator”—but with one notable difference. Levy Armstrong’s face was digitally altered to make it appear as if she was sobbing profusely while being led out by the agent. Nowhere did the account make clear that the image had been doctored.
U.S. lawmakers react after Trump announces Venezuela operation, Maduro arrest
Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Saturday morning that Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York on narco-terrorism charges.
It was not immediately clear whether the nation‘s top lawyer was referring only to charges contained in an indictment filed against the Venezuelan leader in 2020, or if there would be new or different charges filed in an indictment Saturday.
Epstein‘s alleged victims accuse DOJ of legal violations over state of files released
(December 22, 2025)
„No financial documents were released,“ the statement said. „Grand jury minutes, though approved by a federal judge for release, were fully blacked out — not the scattered redactions that might be expected to protect victim names, but 119 full pages blacked out. We are told that there are hundreds of thousands of pages of documents still unreleased.“
„These are clear-cut violations of an unambiguous law,“ the statement added.
Over 500 pages in initial Epstein files release were entirely blacked out, CBS News finds
One series of three consecutive documents — totaling 255 pages — is entirely redacted, with each page covered by a black box. A fourth 119-page document labeled „Grand Jury-NY“ is also entirely redacted.
At least 180 blacked-out pages appear in files that are mostly but not entirely redacted. In some cases, a cover page, a photo of a folder or something else that isn‘t fully redacted precedes several pages that are entirely obscured by a black box.
The DOJ is breaking the law by not releasing the full Epstein files. This is not transparency. This is just more coverup by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. They need to release all the files, NOW.

Dems Demand Answers as Trump Photo Disappears From DOJ Online Epstein Files
House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said during a Friday CNN interview that the DOJ only released about 10% of the full Epstein files.
“The DOJ has had months and hundreds of agents to put these files together, and yet entire documents are redacted—from the first word to the last,” Garcia said on X. “What are they hiding? The American public deserves transparency. Release all the files now!”
In a joint statement Friday, Garcia and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said, “We are now examining all legal options in the face of this violation of federal law.”
At least 16 files disappear from DOJ site for Epstein documents, including Trump photo
The Justice Department did not say why the files were removed or whether their disappearance was intentional. A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Online, the unexplained missing files fueled speculation about what was taken down and why the public was not notified, compounding long-standing intrigue about Epstein and the powerful figures who surrounded him.
