Attorney General Pam Bondi will testify before the House Judiciary Committee next Wednesday, February 11, but Republicans on the committee will not be allowed to ask her any questions about the Justice Department’s disastrous release of files about the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
That’s the report from journalist Aaron Parnas, who writes on social media, “Epstein survivors tell me that they were told in meetings with Republican lawmakers that everyone was supportive of asking Pam Bondi hard questions about the Epstein files.”
“But, afterwards, they were told by a source in the Republican establishment that those questions won’t be asked.”
“Republicans members have been told to avoid any questions about the files and to only focus on the ‘positives’ that Bondi accomplished.”
Even though the DOJ has released around 3.5 million Epstein files, many in Congress say Justice is in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which clearly states that any and all records must be made public, with redactions only of the names of minors of victims.
Recently, the DOJ revealed they would continue to withhold millions of additional Epstein files, which has led a bipartisan group of lawmakers to suggest they may hold Bondi in contempt of Congress, which would be a major black eye for a sitting AG.
Here’s some of the online reaction to Parnas report:
