Pam Bondi faces legal action over Epstein file violation - Brian Tyler Cohen

INTERVIEW: Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, discusses potential legal action after botched Epstein file release.

Legal Action Planned

• Democrats are preparing legal recourse through the courts and congressional accountability measures
• Rep. Tom Massie (Republican) may lead efforts to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi accountable
• Similar actions planned in the Senate

Enforcement Challenges

• The Justice Department, which should enforce the law, is the entity violating it
• Strategy includes court action, public pressure, and holding DOJ officials in contempt
• Concerns about Trump pardons complicating accountability efforts

The Cover-Up

• Garcia argues the administration's handling suggests what's in the files is worse than the negative publicity from withholding them
• Files are being over-redacted and selectively released
• Garcia characterizes this as a "White House cover-up"

Ghislaine Maxwell Controversy

• Maxwell was moved to a less secure facility after a secret meeting with Trump's former lawyer Todd Blanche (now Deputy AG)
• Blanche claims it was for her safety, which Garcia disputes
• Maxwell is refusing to testify despite earlier promises from Chairman James Comer

Future Plans

• If Democrats win the House majority, Garcia commits to immediately subpoenaing key figures including Bondi, Cash Patel, FBI officials, and banks
• Emphasizes Democrats want accountability for anyone involved, regardless of political affiliation
