Pam Bondi Faces Fresh Fallout Over Withheld Epstein 'Rape Island' Docs

STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE
Rep. Ro Khanna said he’s preparing to take drastic measures to force the Justice Department to stop holding back.

The DOJ, however, has been slow to release the files as it heavily redacts the documents and scrubs references to President Donald Trump.

In response, Khanna and Massie are “intervening” with the Southern District of New York and asking the court to appoint a “special master” to ensure all of the documents are released, Khanna told NPR on Friday.

“What I want to see over these next few weeks is for the documents actually to start coming out that the American people want to see—and the survivors want to see—which is the documents that name the rich and powerful men who are on Epstein’s rape island,” he told host Michel Martin.

The Southern District of New York charged Epstein with sex trafficking in 2019, but the case never moved forward after the disgraced financier was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell about a month after he was indicted.

maybe they were covering Bondi's desk to the point of obscuring it and she was never able to find her desk as a result?

That would explain everything!

But I do believe she flew in on a broom, and will most likely ride out on a pike soon
