Evidence
“But the "sloppiness" of the DOJ in redacting and releasing those files amounts to "criminal negligence" on behalf of Attorney General Pam Bondi, says Massie. ... Massie grilled Bondi in a Congressional hearing today ... It took an act of Congress to force the executive branch to publish a publicly searchable database of the Epstein files, in contrast to the theatrics of Bondi's release of binders filled with highly selective Epstein-related disclosures to hand-picked influencers at the beginning of President Donald Trump's second term.”
