Pam Bondi Stonewalls question about Trump’s mentions in Epstein files

The Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday on Stonedal a question in a senatorial judicial committee on which ordered the FBI agents to report any document which mentioned President Donald Trump during a review this year of investigation files on the predator of late sex Jeffrey Epstein.

Senator Dick Durbin, in a letter in July, said that the order of FBI agents had asked the Ministry of Justice to disclose Epstein files and a subsequent decision of Bondi not to do so.

“So who gave the order to report the files related to President Trump?” Durbin, d-ill., Asked Bondi during the hearing of the Judicial Committee on Tuesday.

“To report the discs that understood his name?” Asked Durbin.

Boni bristled by reply: “I’m not going to discuss anything with you, senator.”

Durbin replied: “Finally, you will have to answer for your driving in this area, you will not do it today, but ultimately you will do it.”

Durbin, in his letter to the Ministry of Justice, said that in March, hundreds of New York staff on the FBI field had been responsible for examining the files related to Epstein.

In this letter, Durbin quoted a quote from Trump in 2002 on Epstein, which was published in New York magazine.

“Mr. Trump said about Mr. Epstein:” I have known Jeff for 15 years. Guy Terrific, he is very fun to be.

Durbin Tuesday also asked Bondi why, in February, she said that the so-called list of Epstein customers was sitting on her office so that she could examine, when she finally said she would not publish Epstein files.

“I said that I haven’t examined it yet, and if you see our memo on Epstein, you will see our memo on Epstein clearly stresses that there was no list of customers,” replied Bondi.

This joint service note from the Ministry of Justice and the FBI was published on July 7, months after examining the Epstein file documents.

He concluded that there was no list of Epstein customers and supported the official long -standing conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in a federal prison in Manhattan in 2019, weeks after being arrested for children’s sex traffic.

The Trump administration, for months, has been faced with criticisms, notably by certain Republican allies at the Congress, for its promises of Bondi promises and FBI officials to publish Epstein files.

Some Trump supporters refused to believe that there was no list of Epstein customers, whom they suspect was a list of powerful or rich men who had sexual contact with girls and young women under his control, making these men vulnerable to blackmail or other pressure.

Trump was friends with Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell for years before the two men fell in the mid -2000s.

Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 in a federal trial in New York to the purchase and grooming of minor girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

On Monday, the Supreme Court refused to hear Maxwell’s call for this conviction.
