Top Democrat says attorney general ‘in violation of the law’ if more Epstein files are not released<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
Robert Garcia<\/strong>, the Democratic ranking member on the House oversight committee which has taken a lead role in investigating the government\u2019s handling of Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong>\u2019s prosecutions, accused attorney general Pam Bondi<\/strong> of breaking the law after her deputy Todd Blanche<\/strong> indicated the department would release no further files related to the disgraced financier.<\/p>\n \u201cDonald Trump and his Department Justice have now made it clear that they intend to withhold roughly 50% of the Epstein files, while claiming to have fully complied with the law. This is outrageous and incredibly concerning,\u201d Garcia said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Oversight Committee subpoena directs Pam Bondi to release all the files to the committee, while protecting survivors. They are in violation of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n The Republican-controlled oversight committee\u2019s investigation has resulted in the release of several documents that have shed light on Epstein\u2019s relationship with powerful figures including Donald Trump<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
