Attorney General Bondi Misled Congress. She Must Be Held Accountable.
To: Sen. Grassley, Rep. Nunn, Sen. Ernst
From: A verified voter in Des Moines, IA
February 27
A child was allegedly assaulted. The FBI documented it. The law required it to be released. And the Attorney General of the United States looked Congress in the eye and said nothing was withheld.
She lied.
An NPR investigation — now confirmed by the New York Times, MS Now, and members of your own colleagues on the House Oversight Committee — has found that the DOJ suppressed more than 50 pages of FBI interview records related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 years old. These records were catalogued in official DOJ indexes. They were required by law to be released. They were not.
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Congress in writing that no records were withheld for “political sensitivity.” House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia personally reviewed the unredacted DOJ evidence logs and confirmed the interviews were illegally withheld. Even Republican Oversight Chair James Comer has now pledged to investigate.
This is not a partisan accusation. This is obstruction of a congressional mandate — and it may be perjury.
I am asking you to take immediate action:
1. CALL FOR BONDI’S RESIGNATION OR IMPEACHMENT. An Attorney General who misleads Congress about the suppression of evidence involving the President cannot be trusted to uphold the rule of law.
2. SUPPORT THE JOINT OVERSIGHT INVESTIGATION. Demand full, unredacted release of all 50+ withheld pages and all related FBI interview records, as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
3. REFER THE MATTER FOR INDEPENDENT REVIEW. Given the DOJ’s obvious conflict of interest in investigating itself, an independent special counsel or Inspector General review is essential.
No person — not even the President, not even the Attorney General — is above the law. Congress is the last line of accountability. I am asking you to be that line.
Respectfully,
