The only time Federal prosecutors were permitted to launch investigations against Epstein and Maxwell was when President Trump occupied the White House. Only under President Trump were 3 million Epstein-related documents released. This was an enormously complicated and labor-intensive process. To the best of my knowledge, the Department produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Our diligent and good-faith effort to collect materials ensured that all p… | ||

| 9122 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 12 | Page 13 | that correct? A Yes. Q And as it relates to the Jeffrey Epstein matter, when you assumed office, what was DOJ doing? A When I assumed -- regarding Epstein? Q Yes. A When I assumed office, nothing, to my knowledge. And nothing had been released, and I don't know if it had been requested to be released. Q Did you direct the Department to conduct a review of the Epstein and Maxwell investigation? A Immediately. I mean, within weeks of assuming office. Q Can you describe for the Committee what that … | ||
| 9123 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 13 | Page 14 | other review that was occurring prior to you assuming office? A Not to my knowledge. Q Also for the record, the Epstein and Maxwell investigation was considered closed upon you taking office? A To my knowledge, yes. Q When were you first briefed on the Epstein and Maxwell matter? A Initially, after we received, again, approximately 300 documents, and those were released, and we believed that that was the tip of the iceberg, that that -- the FBI had not turned over all of the documents. Director … | ||
| 9124 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 14 | Page 15 | A Well, initially, again, we only received several hundred documents, and they were released upon redaction by the FBI. Then, once Director Patel assumed his position, we found many more documents. And, as we received those, those were reviewed and released. And we have always made it very clear that if anyone is the victim of Jeffrey Epstein -- and I count Ghislaine Maxwell in there too. She is just as evil as Jeffrey Epstein was -- that they come forward to us, to the FBI -- many of these vict… | ||
| 9125 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 15 | Page 16 | A Only the attorney that I spoke to, and she was just concerned about being heard and these victims being heard. Q Uh-huh. Were they interested in files being released at that time? A I don't recall. Q Okay. You mentioned Director Patel and the FBI. Were there any other agencies that were involved in the review of documents during this period? A The FBI, DOJ -- multiple components at DOJ, my National Security Division at the time. And then, ultimately, when we received multiple documents, we use… | ||
| 9126 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 16 | Page 17 | clear. Q And I'm assuming you did ultimately review those files. Is that right? A Yes, along with multiple attorneys in my office. Q And were those files the ones that you referred to previously that the FBI produced to DOJ and -- A Yes. Q -- upon assuming office? A Yes. Q Thank you. A And I think you clarified something for me. It was within 2 weeks of assuming office that I received those. So, really, within just a week or more, I had requested all the Epstein documents. Q And during this peri… | ||
| 9127 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 17 | Page 18 | we received. Q Were you involved in providing these documents to these individuals? A Yes. Q And ultimately whose decision was it to release these documents? A Ultimately mine, to release as much as we could while protecting victims' identities. Q How were the recipients of this phase-one release selected? A We were seeing them that day; they were in the White House. And we handed them the binders. And then it was released to the general public as well. Q Were these recipients of the phase-one r… | ||
| 9128 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 18 | Page 19 | A Yes. This is the letter that I referred to earlier, dated February 27th, 2025, that I sent to Director Patel. And, to clarify, I had said we released approximately 300, maybe, earlier, documents. There were about 200 pages, according to the letter I sent him. Q So, in the letter, you claimed that you learned from a source that the FBI field office in New York was withholding thousands of pages of Epstein documents despite the FBI's assurances that all relevant documents had been delivered to t… | ||
| 9129 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 19 | Page 20 | my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained. There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access. The Department of Justice will ensure that any public disclosure of these files will be done in a manner to protect the privacy of victims and in accordance with law, as I have done my entire career as a prosecutor." And the letter continues. Q And you … | ||
| 9130 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 20 | Page 21 | A Yes. Q What role did you have in issuing this statement? A This was -- I did not have a role in issuing this statement. I believe this was done by Deputy Attorney General Blanche in conjunction with the FBI, I believe. Q And, for the record, this is the July 7, 2025, DOJ and FBI joint statement. A Yes. Q The statement said that there was no evidence that Epstein kept a client list of associates whom he blackmailed or conspired with to victimize dozens of women. Do you know which documents the … | ||
| 9131 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 21 | Page 22 | Q The joint statement also said neither the DOJ nor the FBI uncovered evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. What process did the Department of Justice undergo to determine there was no evidence to investigate any third parties? A I believe the FBI thoroughly reviewed all the documents in its possession to make that determination. They are the investigative agency. Q Uh-huh. During this time when this statement was issued -- you've mentioned that Blanche … | ||
| 9132 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 22 | Page 23 | Q Are you aware of whether Maxwell reached out to the Department of Justice to request this interview? A I don't recall how that was initiated. Q So would it be safe to assume that you had no role in the determination that then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would perform this interview? A Oh, I knew Todd Blanche was going to interview her, yes. Q Uh-huh. A I believe -- I don't believe who initiated it. If she reached out to us, I believe -- I don't want to speculate, but I believe Deputy … | ||
| 9133 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 23 | Page 24 | testimony? A And I believe that entire transcript has been released and that the FBI would have looked into all of that. That was the purpose of taking her statement. Q As far as the transcript itself and what has been released publicly, how did the Department of Justice determine which individuals would be redacted from the transcript? A Deputy Attorney General Blanche made that determination based on the law and what privileges would apply. Q Do you know what types of individuals' names were r… | ||
| 9134 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 24 | Page 25 | A I have no knowledge of that. Again, I found out about it after the transfer when it became public. Q Attorney General Bondi, do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell should receive a pardon? A No. I believe she should die in prison. Q Why? A She was a monster, just like Jeffrey Epstein. She recruited these young women to a life of prostitution and abuse. And I often think the women that do that are just as bad, if not worse, than the men, because she participated in it. Q Thank you. BY MR. GRANT:… | ||
| 9135 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 25 | Page 26 | Q Were you ever briefed on the documents underneath that subpoena? A Maybe briefly, after they were released. Our goal was to get as much out publicly that was legally permissible as fast as we could. Q And would the redaction process for those documents be similar to what the Department of Justice was already doing as far as making sure no personal information was getting out there because it was required by law? A Yes. And I believe Stanley Woodward was the one, again, who supervised that rele… | ||
| 9136 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 26 | Page 27 | BY MR. EMMER: Q Let's talk about the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And, for the record, the EFTA was signed into law November 19th of 2025, requiring you, the Attorney General at the time, to release all documents related to the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days and making them publicly available in a searchable format. What was your role in carrying out the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A Todd Blanche supervised that entire process. To back up for a minute, though, the office di… | ||
| 9137 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 27 | Page 28 | around not only the country but the world that we were dealing with. As to details on it, I don't know how -- I don't recall how often. Q In relation to EFTA and the Department's obligations thereunder, what concerns was -- or, did Todd Blanche express concerns as far as releasing documents? What was he saying? Ms. Dhillon. I'm just going to point out that you can answer that to the extent that it doesn't reveal protected communications. Ms. Bondi. I can say I believe everyone was concerned abou… | ||
| 9138 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 28 | Page 29 | Q And, again, then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was overseeing these efforts. Is that right? A Yes. Todd Blanche oversaw the entire investigation, and he has made multiple statements and done multiple interviews regarding that. Q So let's talk about the 30-day timeline. Was the Department of Justice able to produce all documents within the 30 days? A No. And that is when I became more involved. Because we had over 500 attorneys, I believe, working around the clock to do the best we could… | ||
| 9139 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 29 | Page 30 | Mr. Emmer. We've had another Member join us. Can he please identify himself for the record? Mr. Khanna. Ro Khanna, California 17. BY MR. EMMER: Q I know that you've already mentioned how many documents were produced, but, again, for the record, how many total documents or materials did the Department of Justice produce to the public pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act? A Approximately 3 million. Q And there has been public statements, I believe, that then-Deputy Attorney General Blanc… | ||
| 9140 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 30 | Page 31 | Q At this time, I would like to introduce what will be marked as majority exhibit 3. And this is a letter that was sent from the Department of Justice to Senators and Members of Congress on January 30th. [Bondi Majority Exhibit No. 3 was marked for identification.] Mr. Emmer. I would also like to introduce what will be marked as majority exhibit 4. This is also a letter that was sent on February 14th of 2026. [Bondi Majority Exhibit No. 4 was marked for identification.] BY MR. EMMER: Q And I wil… | ||
| 9141 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 31 | Page 32 | these efforts, did he ever brief you on how many documents were considered to be duplicative? A Not specifically, but I believe it was approximately 3 million, I believe -- oh, duplicative. No, I don't -- I'm sorry -- I don't recall how many were duplicative. Q And there were certain documents that were privileged. A Yes. Q Can you elaborate more on why those cannot be produced? A I can give you an example, which would be, a prosecution memo is privileged. Q And who made the determination whethe… | ||
| 9142 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 32 | Page 33 | [10:05 a.m.] BY MR. EMMER: Q And Todd Blanche never approached you about any specific documents as it relates to privilege? A Probably. I don't recall specifically, but we probably talked about it. I talked to him every day about multiple issues around the country and the world. Q And I know you touched on this previously, but the Department of Justice, according to these letters, said that there were certain files that were withheld because they are not a part of the case file for Epstein or Ma… | ||
| 9143 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 33 | Page 34 | Q And, during this process, when you were preparing documents to be produced, were there concerns about what should or should not be redacted? A I believe so. Q Did you have concerns? A Yes. I had grave concerns about victims' names being released because of the volume of documents and the timeframe in which those documents had to be released, and I believe most people in my office shared those same concerns. Q And were there guidelines in place for DOJ employees on how to make redactions? A I b… | ||
| 9144 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 34 | Page 35 | Q Were you consulted as to whether or not something should be redacted? A I don't believe so. Mr. Emmer. I would now like to introduce what will be marked majority exhibit 5, and I will give you a moment to review. [Bondi Majority Exhibit No. 5 was marked for identification.] BY MR. EMMER: Q This is a Department of Justice memorandum dated January 4, 2026, entitled "Attorney Review Protocol for Epstein Files?" A Yes. And this is from the Deputy Attorney General's Office, yes. Q Attorney General … | ||
| 9145 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 35 | Page 36 | Q Was the Department of Justice contacted by victims or their attorneys to create this list? A I believe so. I also believe the list was ongoing, and while the redactions were being done, I recall we would receive more victims' names. Therefore, the attorneys doing the redactions would have to go back and search for the additional names as well. Q What information would have been used to inform the list of victim names for redactions? A I don't recall. Q Is it safe to assume that Todd Blanche wo… | ||
| 9146 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 36 | Page 37 | A Yes. Q Did he brief you on certain mistakes? A Not specifically, just that I recall when a victim's name -- everyone was upset when a victim's name got released inadvertently. Q As far as the victims themselves and those that may have been inadvertently unredacted in the files, did any reach out to you directly? A I don't believe so. And I believe I saw online once a victim's name, and that she said she had -- her name had been released, and that was really the extent of my involvement on that… | ||
| 9147 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 37 | Page 38 | [Recess.] . We can go back on the record. Before we get started, I understand the witness has a clarification that she would like to make. Ms. Bondi. Yes. I believe one of the questions that was posed to me pertaining to Ghislaine Maxwell being transferred from a prison was phrased -- the question was phrased that she was transferred from a maximum-security prison to a low-security prison, and I don't believe she was ever in a maximum-security prison. I believe it was a lower facility prison tha… | ||
| 9148 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 38 | Page 39 | interview is not being videotaped. Committee Democrats strongly disagree with that decision. We believe that Jeffrey Epstein survivors and the American people deserve to watch today's interview and reach their own conclusions, and the lack of video here today is another failure in transparency and accountability for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. . To that end, I will introduce as minority exhibit A, this letter from a group of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors to Chairman Comer, dated May… | ||
| 9149 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 39 | Page 40 | A Yes. Q And I think, if I heard correctly, it sounded like, with respect to this Committee's subpoena, a DOJ official named Stanley Woodward was the person to whom that topic was generally delegated. Is that right? A On a portion of the documents being released. I believe it was when 33,000 documents were released, Stanley Woodward supervised that release. Q Okay. I can ask later when we get to it, but is there a different official who has sort of been the person in charge of this Committee's s… | ||
| 9150 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 40 | Page 41 | day as Attorney General? A I don't recall my last day, what was the status of it. Q Was it open as far as you knew? A I don't recall. Q Who would be most likely to know that one? Would that be Mr. Clayton? A Mr. Clayton. And we very publicly asked him to look into any other crimes committed as a result of the Epstein files. I don't know the status of that. Q During your tenure as Attorney General, did DOJ ever contact any Epstein survivors to follow up on any investigative leads contained in the… | ||
| 9151 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 41 | Page 42 | investigate or not investigate Les Wexner as a coconspirator of Jeffrey Epstein? A Not to my knowledge. That would be a question for the FBI. Q Is Director Patel a reasonable starting place for that type of question? A Yes. Q In the 2019 Epstein SDNY case, FBI officials identified ten alleged coconspirators to interview in connection with Mr. Epstein's crimes. . There's an email reflecting that fact, which I will introduce now as minority exhibit B. [Bondi Minority Exhibit B was marked for ident… | ||
| 9152 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 42 | Page 43 | Ms. Dhillon. Yeah. I understand your question, and it's beyond the scope. . Would it be your view that the 2019 Epstein investigation in its totality is beyond the scope of today's conversation? Ms. Dhillon. The scope of today's transcribed interview is what the former Attorney General sitting next to me did regarding the Epstein transparency files and related matters during her tenure, and that's the scope of it. . So, just sort of in a yes-or-no way, would it be your understanding that, for ex… | ||
| 9153 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 43 | Page 44 | Ms. Dhillon. Yeah, I can't help you follow it, but that is our objection and limitation today. . Okay. It's not even necessarily clear to me that that would be your place to draw that line. So we'll phrase it this way: I'll re-ask the question and, if the witness does not want to answer, we'll have the witness say that she does not want the answer and state the basis for that. Ms. Dhillon. You're not going to dictate the objections that I make, but you can ask your questions, and I will instruct… | ||
| 9154 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 44 | Page 45 | of us who might be interested in this question? A Or someone at the FBI New York, because that's who's on the bottom of this document. Q And so is it correct that not having knowledge of who the individuals are, you would not have knowledge of which of these folks was interviewed or not interviewed; is that right? A Correct. Q Okay. A Also, to clarify, that was 2019 and I was not the Attorney General at the time. Q Yeah. And, when that's the case, just feel free to clarify that for me. Thank you… | ||
| 9155 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 45 | Page 46 | Q Yeah. And I can split them up and do them one at a time if you want. A No. Go ahead. Q What is your understanding of the extent to which President Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes prior to the crimes becoming public? So when nobody else -- A I'm not certain of the extent of his knowledge. Q Okay. During your tenure, did President Trump direct you or any of your subordinates to take any official action related to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell? A I'm not go… | ||
| 9156 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 46 | Page 47 | and so just telling you what's out of bounds. You're not going to get answers on those issues. It's just a choice not to answer that question, correct? Ms. Dhillon. I'm not testifying here, so I'd say, , I think you can go ahead and ask your next question. . Well, we'll just clarify with the witness. Thank you. That's a great point. : Q That's just a choice on the witness' part to simply not answer questions in the category you describe, which is conversations with the President or his close adv… | ||
| 9157 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 47 | Page 48 | Q Did President Trump ever tell you that he had friends who could be exposed as abusers by the Epstein files release? A I'm not going to discuss any conversations that I've had with the President on any matter. Q There may be time -- I'll try to minimize it, but there may be times where it's appropriate for you to say that again for the record, and I appreciate your patience. I'd like to discuss some chronological events, starting with President Trump's 2024 campaign. During that campaign, then-… | ||
| 9158 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 48 | Page 49 | question goes beyond that. I'm just noting that for the witness. . Just to clear it for the record, we never agreed to that or were informed of that. Ms. Dhillon. Fine. . And, separately, it would be helpful for me to understand, with the question relating to candidate Trump, is that still part of the previously described concern of not discussing conversations with Donald Trump or President Trump? In other words, is it no conversations with him at any time whether or not he was in office? Ms. D… | ||
| 9159 | Pam Bondi — House Oversight Committee 10 | 49 | Page 50 | President Trump in or out of office, then that's the limit. As you said, it's a voluntary conversation. We just need it on the record. So, when President Trump was a candidate during the 2024 presidential campaign, did you have any discussions with him or his close advisers about Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell? Ms. Dhillon. It's beyond the scope, so -- Ms. Bondi. It's beyond the scope of the -- I was subpoenaed as Attorney General -- or asked to come in as Attorney General. : Q Sorry, just… |
