House Committee Grills Pam Bondi on Epstein Files

May 29, 2026

Summary

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee regarding her handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files. Lawmakers are seeking information on the Trump administration's actions concerning the Epstein case.

How coverage differs

Left outlets cover Pam Bondi's testimony on Epstein files, scrutinizing the Trump administration, while right outlets emphasize President Trump's lawsuits against media challenging Epstein-related narratives.

  • Left: Lawmakers probe Trump administration's Epstein handling for accountability Left-leaning outlets extensively cover former Attorney General Pam Bondi's closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee concerning Jeffrey Epstein's files. They highlight the ongoing probe into the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case and the scrutiny faced by a former official.
  • Right: President Trump challenges media's Epstein narrative with legal action Right-leaning outlets, rather than focusing on Bondi's testimony, highlight President Trump's actions against media, such as refiling a lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over an 'Epstein birthday card'. This approach frames Trump as actively challenging media narratives related to Epstein.
