Overview

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer core oversight questions during her Oct. 7 Senate Judiciary appearance, including queries on handling of the Epstein files.
  • Close-up images by a Reuters photographer revealed handwritten prompts and a typed list of barbed lines aimed at Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, including a claim tied to Reid Hoffman that Whitehouse later denied.
  • When pressed by Sen. Dick Durbin about who told the FBI to flag references to President Trump in the Epstein materials, Bondi said she would not discuss it.
  • Sen. Adam Schiff cataloged 11 unanswered items, citing whether Tom Homan kept $50,000 from an FBI sting, whether Bondi discussed prosecuting James Comey with the president, and whether career prosecutors were removed over Jan. 6 work.
  • The photos of Bondi’s notes circulated widely on social platforms as commentators and letter writers called for stronger oversight, with some urging consideration of contempt.
