House Oversight asks DOJ to investigate Epstein associates

The House Oversight Committee has released the transcript from its closed-door interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi. During the approximately four-hour interview, Bondi reportedly declined to answer a number of questions and directed inquiries regarding the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Separately, the committee announced it is asking the Justice Department to investigate sexual misconduct allegations made by Epstein's former assistant, Sarah Kellen, against two of his associates. The frequency of Bondi's "I don't recall" answers has ignited controversy regarding the cover-up of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. A former officer at the correctional facility where Jeffrey Epstein died also testified before the committee, stating she was not the orange shape seen moving up the stairs of Epstein's cell tier the night he died. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi said then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche handled the release of the DOJ's Epstein files. A GOP-led House committee has requested the Department of Justice investigate two associates of Jeffrey Epstein.
