Dem Rep. Ansari: Impeachment of Pam Bondi Over Her Handling of the Epstein Files ‘Should Be on the Table’

EXCERPT:

ANSARI: “I think this is a very bipartisan issue. The fact that we went from thinking largely that the discharge petition that eventually led to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, I think when that was first introduced, it seemed pretty impossible that that would come to be. And then eventually, of course, we had the 218 signatures and it passed unanimously. The public pressure on this issue was so immense because the crimes are so egregious. The fact that Jeffrey Epstein committed these crimes over the course of decades, received a sweetheart plea deal from somebody who went on to become the Labor Secretary under the first Trump Administration. The fact that Ghislaine Maxwell now is in a cushy jail with preferential treatment. The fact that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and this administration have refused to release these files for months on end and continue to lie and cover up. All of this has led to the public being so dissatisfied and so angry about the fact that so many rich and powerful men are not being held to account. And there’s clearly a coverup happening. So I don’t think Republicans can escape this. So I would feel very comfortable saying that there would be pretty, pretty broad bipartisan support to hold Pam Bondi in contempt.”
