Bondi cites redaction errors in Epstein files release, pledges transparency

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told the House Oversight Committee that the DOJ made redaction errors in its release of Epstein-related records, but she said the department produced all materials required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act and delegated oversight to Acting AG Todd Blanche. Democrats pressed Bondi on questions about Trump and Blanche's role, while Bondi defended Blanche and signaled willingness to pursue any evidence of wrongdoing. The hearing highlighted concerns about survivors’ privacy and DOJ transparency amid a broader political debate over the Epstein file release.
