"The United States Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday answered questions regarding her department's handling of files relating to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The Department of Justice has faced increasing scrutiny over the release of over three million files of redacted documents that have exposed sensitive information about Epstein survivors, something that had been ordered by Congress. Bondi has also been criticised for the pace at which the Epstein files have been released."
"Giuffre publicly came forward with her accusations, saying she was a teenage spa attendant at US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club when Epstein's then girlfriend and associate Ghislaine Maxwell approached her and hired her as a masseuse for the billionaire."
""You're running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Department of Justice," said Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. "You've been ordered by subpoena and by Congress to turn over six million documents, photographs and videos in the Epstein files, but you've turned over only three million," Raskin said."
Attorney General Pam Bondi answered questions about how the Department of Justice handled files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Department of Justice has faced scrutiny over its release of more than three million redacted documents that revealed sensitive information about Epstein survivors and has been criticized for the pace and extent of redactions. A group of survivors and family members, including representatives of Virginia Giuffre, attended the hearing. Giuffre said she was a teenage spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago when Ghislaine Maxwell hired her as a masseuse. Representative Jamie Raskin accused the department of conducting a cover-up and said Congress had ordered six million items but only three million were produced. Epstein had ties to prominent figures and died in custody in 2019.
