Pam Bondi blames Todd Blanche for the mishandling of Epstein files: MS NOW

Ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi deflected responsibility for Epstein files problems during her House Oversight Committee hearing, attributing oversight to current Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

In her opening statement, Bondi claimed the department demonstrated unprecedented transparency and produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, while also noting she delegated the document review process to Blanche.

MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian characterized her testimony as throwing Blanche "under the bus," noting Blanche effectively ran much of the Department of Justice, or DOJ, during Bondi's tenure as attorney general.

Dilanian expressed skepticism about why the committee questioned Bondi rather than Blanche, suggesting Bondi functioned largely as a figurehead while her former deputy handled significant departmental responsibilities regarding the Epstein investigation.
