Bondi’s Epstein testimony turns transparency into a blame map

Pam Bondi’s Epstein-files testimony turned a transparency rollout into a paperwork autopsy. In a closed-door House interview, the former attorney general defended the Justice Department’s release, acknowledged redaction errors, and pointed lawmakers toward Todd Blanche, saying he oversaw the review. Democrats wanted answers about Trump’s role; Bondi would not go there. The brutal contrast is simple: the government promised daylight, then delivered millions of pages where the safest answer was either blacked out, mis-redacted, or suddenly somebody else’s job.
