"Images published by Reuters and Getty show Bondi flipping past a page labeled "Jayapal Pramila Search History," an apparent reference to Washington Democratic representative Pramila Jayapal, which included a list of log numbers and descriptions of various documents in the Epstein database. On Monday, lawmakers were allowed to access the unredacted versions of the federal government's files connected to the investigation into the disgraced financier that were publicized following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act."
"Last month, the Justice Department released more than 3 million documents as well as more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 photos, a disclosure that was dogged by allegations of insufficient redactions and a mishandling of sensitive information related to Epstein's victims. Per NBC News, members of Congress can view documents through computers at the Justice Department and are required to provide at least 24 hours notice to the agency."
""It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DoJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched," Jayapal said in a statement Wednesday. "That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members.""
