Pam Bondi says Todd Blanche oversaw release of Epstein files

Former Florida Attorney General and U.S. Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, stating that former FDLE official Todd Blanche was in charge of releasing the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

The committee’s inquiry focuses on whether proper protocols were followed in handling the sensitive records. Bondi’s remarks have raised questions about the chain of command during the 2019‑2020 period and could influence her confirmation process, while also spotlighting broader concerns about transparency in high‑profile investigations.
