At a recent press conference Minnesota Governor Tim Walz mocked Attorney General Pam Bondi’s letter demanding state documents, urging Bondi instead to pursue “two million documents in the Epstein files” he said remain unreleased. Bondi’s letter had pressed Walz to restore “the rule of law” and hand over welfare- and election-related records amid a federal immigration-agent shooting and disclosure of an alleged $9 billion fraud scheme. Walz denied wrongdoing, called the federal demands political, said Minnesota has cooperated, and accused the Justice Department of targeting the state. The exchange highlights national controversy over Epstein files and federal oversight of Minnesota. (newsweek.com)
