At a November 19 press conference, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi confirmed the Department of Justice has released more than 33,000 Epstein-related documents to Congress and pledged compliance with legal transparency obligations. However, she stopped short of committing to a complete unredacted public release due to the Southern District of New York\u2019s ongoing investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pam Bondi addressed reporters to clarify that while the DOJ is cooperating with Congress, the release process respects institutional limits by allowing redactions mandated by active investigations to protect legal integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her remarks come after Congress\u2019s near-unanimous passage on November 18 of a bill directing the Attorney General to release Epstein files within 30 days of President Trump\u2019s signature.
