Bondi, Pressed Over Epstein Files, Places Responsibility on Blanche and Patel
Key Points
Bondi, who was a member of the committee that reviewed the Epstein files, has placed responsibility for the decision to redact the names of Epstein's associates on former committee members Michael Blanche and Brad Patel. The decision was made in 2019, and Bondi has stated that she was not involved in the decision-making process. The redaction of the names has been criticized by some, who argue that it has hindered the investigation into Epstein's associates.
