Bondi’s Approval Plunges as Bipartisan Drive Gathers to Hold Her in Contempt Over Epstein Files

Bipartisan calls for inherent contempt follow victims’ claims of extreme redactions.

Overview

  • An AtlasIntel survey of 2,315 respondents conducted December 15–19 (±2 points) shows Pam Bondi’s net approval falling from +6 in February to −41 in December.
  • Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna say they are moving to invoke the House’s inherent contempt power against Bondi for failing to fully release materials required under a law signed in November.
  • More than a dozen Epstein survivors condemned what they called abnormal, sweeping redactions, saying grand jury minutes approved for release were fully blacked out and that hundreds of thousands of pages remain withheld.
  • The Justice Department says redactions protect victims and that more documents will be posted in the coming weeks, and it denies political interference after briefly deleting then restoring a file containing photos of Donald Trump.
  • Khanna says some Republicans have told him they want Bondi removed and that a handful may be open to impeachment, while he and Massie pursue contempt to compel fuller disclosure.
