Results: Pam Bondi throws acting AG Todd Blanche under the bus over Epstein files in Congress testimony
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told members of Congress that her successor Todd Blanche was responsible for the chaotic release of millions of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Democratic lawmakers.
Bondi, who Donald Trump fired last month, told members of the House Oversight Committee during a close-door deposition that she delegated oversight of the so-called Epstein files and the federal government’s investigations into the dead sex offender to her now-former deputy.
"She continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on Acting AG Todd Blanche,” the committee’s top Democrat Robert Garcia told reporters on Friday. “It was Todd Blanche, the current acting AG, that was leading the Epstein investigation, and quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw — the redactions, not protecting survivors — she continues to push that back onto the acting AG Todd Blanche, who by the way was Donald Trump's personal lawyer.”
Lawmakers asked her five times about her conversations with Trump concerning the case, and “she refused to answer any questions” about him, according to Garcia. “In fact, she said she would not speak or respond to any questions that had anything to do with President Trump,” he said. https://www.aol.com/articles/pam-bondi-throws-acting-ag-162351337.html
