Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Feb. 11, but according to journalist Aaron Parnas, Republicans on the committee have been instructed not to mention the Justice Department’s botched release of files on Jeffrey Epstein.
“Epstein survivors tell me that they were told in meetings with Republican lawmakers that everyone was supportive of asking Pam Bondi hard questions about the Epstein files,” Parnas wrote in a statement shared on social media Saturday.
“But, afterwards, they were told by a source in the Republican establishment that those questions won’t be asked. Republicans members have been told to avoid any questions about the files and to only focus on the ‘positives’ that Bondi accomplished.”
Bondi is among the most scrutinized Trump administration officials regarding the DOJ’s botched handling of its investigation into Epstein. Last year, Bondi told Fox News that Epstein’s supposed “client list” of powerful figures was “sitting on my desk right now,” only to later sign off on a DOJ memo that stated Epstein never maintained a client list.
