Bondi shifts responsibility for Epstein files' release to Todd Blanche, making him Democrats' next target
In closed-door remarks Friday to members of Congress, former Attorney General Pam Bondi punted responsibility for the administrations handling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Now, Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee say they want to hear from Blanche and theyre prepared to force a vote to subpoena him if necessary.
The request is, going in today, to Chairman [James] Comer to have Todd Blanche come in, Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, told reporters. If he doesn't do it, we're going to force a subpoena and try to get votes but he's got to come in.
Garcia added that Kash Patel, the FBI director, is number two on the list.

Must have been painful passing that number 2.
