Patriot Brief

  • What Happened: Rep. Pramila Jayapal demanded AG Pam Bondi apologize to Epstein survivors for releasing the Epstein files, calling it "absolutely unacceptable."
  • Why It Matters: Jayapal called the release a "massive cover up" while the DOJ has released millions of pages of documents, photographs, and messages.
  • Bottom Line: A Democrat congresswoman is attacking Bondi for making Epstein files public while survivors demand more transparency.

A Democrat congresswoman just demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi apologize to Jeffrey Epstein's survivors for releasing too many files. Are you freaking kidding me?

Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked Bondi during an oversight hearing Wednesday to turn to the survivors in attendance "and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information."

Let that sink in. A sitting congresswoman is attacking the attorney general for making Epstein documents public. She is demanding an apology for transparency.

What followed was minutes of shouting and crosstalk between Jayapal, Bondi, committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan, and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin. In her final seconds, Jayapal doubled down and called the release of the Epstein files "a massive cover up."

So releasing the files is a cover up? That is the argument? The DOJ has released millions of pages of Epstein-related documents, photographs, and messages. Survivors have been demanding transparency for years. Bipartisan lawmakers have accused the government of failing to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And now a Democrat congresswoman is mad that too much has been released.

This is exactly what President Trump meant when he talked about the "Epstein Hoax." Democrats do not want the truth out. They want the files buried. They want the names hidden. And when an attorney general actually releases documents, they demand apologies.

The DOJ missed its deadline by more than a month and has been criticized for missed redactions and key omissions. Millions of pages related to the investigation remain inaccessible. Survivors even released a Super Bowl ad telling Bondi "it's time for the truth."

But Jayapal is not mad about what has not been released. She is mad about what has. That tells you everything you need to know about whose side she is on.

Epstein's survivors deserve justice. They deserve transparency. And they deserve to know the names of every powerful man who enabled Jeffrey Epstein. Jayapal just proved she does not want them to have any of that.
