"Bondi doubles down on handling of Epstein files in testimony to Congress
'We haven't seen the full release of the files, so that's already a violation of the law,' said Dani Bensky, referencing the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Bensky, who says Epstein sexually abused her as a young ballerina, says Bondi's release of the files without proper redactions of victims' identities 'sends such a chilling effect to the rest of the survivor community.'
(. . .)
'The government has failed the survivors,' Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, told reporters. 'We're taking this investigation seriously.'
He also promised to ask questions to obtain 'justice for the survivors.'
'What we're trying to do is just connect all the dots, and see if there is a way to hold people accountable,' Comer said. 'And try to understand how the government failed.'
California Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, said he was 'incredibly disappointed' that the interview would not be videotaped or given under oath.
'We obviously have a lot of questions as it relates to why only 50% of the files have been released, why many of the survivors … were literally put in danger by the way the files were released – that private information should never have been released,' Garcia said to reporters Friday. 'And of course, why this continues to be some type of cover up.'"

Pam Bondi Testifies in Closed-Door Epstein Hearing with Minimal Republican Attendance

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on May 29, 2026, to provide testimony regarding the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The session was transcribed but held behind closed doors. Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) was reportedly the only Republican present, while other Republican lawmakers did not attend, prompting criticism from Rep. Melanie Stansbury (R-NM) for their absence. The hearing focused on issues raised by survivors, including questions about document redactions, withheld evidence, and Ghislaine Maxwell's prison sentence. Bondi declined to discuss her conversations with former President Trump, citing executive privilege. Observers noted that the timing of the hearing may have been strategically chosen to minimize Republican scrutiny, though Democrats secured the interview after issuing a subpoena. Potential follow-up questioning may involve Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel. Legal analysts emphasized that Bondi's refusal to answer certain questions is legally understandable given executive privilege protections. The hearing highlights ongoing congressional oversight into the Epstein investigation and the challenges in securing bipartisan accountability.
