At a February 11, 2026 House Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi was grilled over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, including problematic redactions that exposed victims while obscuring possible co‑conspirators. Lawmakers — Democrats and some Republicans — pressed whether any co‑conspirators have been investigated or charged; Bondi repeatedly dodged, refused a direct apology to survivors and deflected by touting stock‑market gains (“Dow over 50,000,” S&P near 7,000, Nasdaq records). Critics accused the DOJ of a cover‑up; Bondi said the department will review and correct redactions while sparring with members such as Raskin and Nadler on Wednesday. (theguardian.com)
