During a tense oversight hearing, Representative Becca Balint pressed Bondi on whether any current administration officials had been investigated regarding Epstein ties.

Bondi responded that she was “stunned” the issue was still being raised, though she did not directly address whether investigations had occurred. The exchange highlighted ongoing partisan divisions over the handling of the Epstein files.

📂 Other Political Figures Mentioned

The documents also reference individuals connected to past Democratic administrations, including:

• Bill Clinton

• Larry Summers

• Kathy Ruemmler

⚖️ Ruemmler recently announced she would step down as top legal officer at Goldman Sachs amid criticism related to past email exchanges with Epstein. She stated that her interactions were conducted strictly in a professional legal capacity and expressed regret for having known him.

🔍 Political Fallout Continues

As more details from the Epstein files surface, the political impact remains significant.

The unfolding developments are expected to remain a focal point in Washington as lawmakers, media, and the public continue to examine the scope and implications of the files.
