Bondi said that “to the best of my knowledge,” the DOJ publicly released all documents and other evidence as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, to the “best of my knowledge,” according to a transcript of her statement obtained by MS NOW.
She conceded to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that there were “redaction errors” in the release of the documents.
Bondi also said that she “did not lead every aspect of this effort or conduct that document review myself.’
“I delegated oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,” Bondi said.
Bondi was fired in early April by President Donald Trump, who was displeased with her handling of issues related to the files about Epstein, his former longtime friend.
Blanche is currently serving as acting attorney general. He is Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer.
“I am proud of the Department’s record and commitment to transparency under my leadership,” Bondi said.
“We demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to transparency in the Department’s search for, collection, and review of the Epstein files, producing nearly 3 million pages of material, including thousands of videos and hundreds of thousands of images.”
“The bottom line is: justice and transparency in this matter have been delivered at the direction of President Trump and his administration,” she said.
