Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi testified behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, 2026 [1].
The testimony comes as survivors of Jeffrey Epstein continue to demand accountability and the full release of investigation files. The proceedings focused on the transparency of records related to the late financier's network and the potential for further disclosures.
Bondi appeared before the committee in Washington, D.C., where Rep. James Comer led the questioning [2]. The session was conducted privately, though the focus remained on the accessibility of government documents regarding the Epstein case [3].
Bondi said the Trump administration's approach to the files reflected justice and transparency [4]. However, the testimony has drawn immediate criticism from some members of the committee. A Democratic lawmaker said Bondi was lying during her testimony [5].
The House Oversight Committee is currently reviewing the handling of the Epstein investigation files to determine if all relevant materials have been made available to the public [2]. Survivors have pressured the committee to ensure Bondi was interviewed under oath to guarantee the accuracy of the information provided [6].
This interview is part of a broader effort to address long-standing questions about the Epstein investigation. The committee is examining whether previous administrations properly managed the evidence, and if specific files were withheld from the public eye [3], [6].

The closed-door nature of the testimony and the conflicting reactions from lawmakers highlight the political volatility surrounding the Epstein files. By focusing on the transparency of the Trump administration's records, the committee is testing whether the release of these documents is being handled as a matter of justice for survivors or as a political tool.
