Pam Bondi Faces Questions on Epstein Files at House Hearing

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Pam Bondi defended the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files as lawmakers questioned her about redactions, disclosures and the department’s process. Left-leaning outlets focus on allegations of mishandling, shielding powerful figures and Bondi’s confrontational responses. Center outlets mostly recount clashes and specific questions about redactions, victim information and file access, often including both Bondi’s defense and lawmakers’ challenges. Right-leaning outlets foreground clashes with Democratic lawmakers and often cast their questioning as partisan, while some emphasize Bondi’s defenses or Republican criticism of the Biden-era Justice Department.
