Bondi, Patel to Testify on Epstein Files as House Escalates Oversight

Hearings will probe why recent DOJ releases offered little new information after a memo reaffirmed Epstein’s death as a suicide.

Overview

  • The House Judiciary Committee scheduled fall appearances, with outlets split on whether Kash Patel testifies Sept. 17 and Pam Bondi Oct. 9 or the reverse.
  • A July 6 DOJ memo said the FBI found no evidence of a “client list” and saw no basis for further disclosures, even as the department delivered 33,000 pages that a top Democrat said were 97% already public.
  • DOJ released hundreds of pages of transcripts and hours of audio from meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell, who recently met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
  • The Republican-led House Oversight Committee issued an Aug. 5 subpoena seeking all communications and documents related to the Epstein and Maxwell criminal cases.
  • Former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta agreed to an Oversight interview on Sept. 19 regarding his role in Epstein’s prior plea agreement.
