Files, Memos and Deadlines

Bondi said she believed the FBI had withheld thousands of pages related to Epstein, writing to then-FBI official Kash Patel about the materials. She previously told reporters a client list was "sitting on my desk," a claim the DOJ later framed as a reference to files generally. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, setting a December 19, 2025 deadline; a bulk release occurred in January 2026.

Redactions and Aftermath

The committee subpoenaed Bondi in March over redactions that angered the public. She acknowledged "redaction errors" but defended the DOJ's "good faith effort" to comply and pursue wrongdoing where warranted. Bondi was later relieved of her post; in response she praised leading Trump’s efforts as the honor of a lifetime and thanked the president for his trust.
