Massie casts doubt on Bondi after Epstein files hearing

Rep. Thomas Massie said he has no confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi after a combative House Judiciary Committee hearing over the DOJ's handling of Jeffrey Epstein documents, criticizing Bondi for dodging questions and using ad hominem remarks. The discussion focused on redactions in the Epstein files, the 2008 Epstein plea deal, and why some figures like Leslie Wexner were treated differently, with advocates pushing for transparency under the Epstein Files Transparency Act and victims seeking accountability.

DOJ finalizes Epstein file release, unveiling millions of pages, videos and images

The DOJ completed its Epstein Files Transparency Act review by releasing the final batch of materials—more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images—from a review of over 6 million records. The release notes redaction rules (women removed from photos/videos) and cites the discovery of substantial commercial pornography on Epstein’s devices. A document shows Howard Lutnick planned a 2012 trip to Epstein’s island. The White House had no oversight of the review, and while earlier disclosures referenced Trump’s flights on Epstein’s jet, no wrongdoing is alleged. Officials say more Epstein files are coming soon, beyond the statutory deadline.

Epstein files largely unreleased after deadline, prompting calls for court-ordered oversight

A month after the Epstein Files Transparency Act deadline, the DoJ has released only a fraction of responsive documents (about 12,285 items ~125,575 pages) and says more than 2 million records remain under review, fueling calls by lawmakers for a court-appointed special master or independent monitor to enforce disclosure. The DOJ argues it is reviewing materials and might dispute the scope of redactions, while experts warn a special master is not a guaranteed quick fix amid possible multi-court litigation; victims’ advocates say continued secrecy harms accountability and retraumatizes survivors.
