US lawmakers threaten legal action against attorney general over unreleased Epstein material
US lawmakers threaten legal action against Attorney General Pam Bondi for not releasing all government files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Department of Justice (DoJ) released only a portion of the anticipated material, leading to potential contempt proceedings by Republican congressman Thomas Massie. The DoJ claims compliance with legal obligations, while survivors of Epstein's abuse and lawmakers seek full transparency, including using inherent contempt to compel Bondi to release the files. Future developments in this saga are expected, with bipartisan support possibly leading to fines for Bondi if full disclosure is not met.
