Massie Drafts Inherent Contempt Charge Against Bondi Over Epstein Files

Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are drafting an inherent-contempt measure against Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Justice Department did not release all Epstein files by the deadline. Left-leaning outlets present the effort as a way to press for fuller disclosure, emphasizing delays and redactions and raising whether powerful people are being protected. Center outlets pair the proposed measure with the Justice Department’s defense that it is complying with its obligations. Right-leaning outlets stress the compliance dispute and frame the partial release as possible concealment, alongside bipartisan criticism.
