Bondi shifts Epstein file duties to Blanche, setting stage for new committee subpoenas

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told lawmakers she delegated oversight of the Epstein file release to Acting AG Todd Blanche, prompting Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to demand Blanche testify and even threaten subpoenas. Bondi defended the release process and the Epstein Files Transparency Act, while acknowledging redaction errors, and the episode frames Blanche (and Kash Patel) as potential targets in the ongoing congressional probe into how Epstein-related materials were handled.
