Bondi spars with Democratic senator over Epstein ‘client list'
Democratic senator Dick Durbin of Illinois grilled Pam Bondi as to why she
‘made a public claim that the Epstein “client list” was “sitting” on her desk for
review earlier this year, only to “produce already public information and no
client list”.
Bondi pushed back, saying that she actually said she had “yet to review” the
documents, and reaffirmed that there was no Epstein client list.
The attorney general went on to spar with Durbin, questioning why he
“refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein flight logs in
2023 and 2024”. Durbin said Bondi’s claims were not accurate.
“I did not refuse. One of the senators here wished to produce those logs, and
Tasked her to put it in writing, and she never did,” Durbin pushed back,
apparently referring to his Republican colleague, senator Marsha Blackburn.
“I would really appreciate the opportunity to correct the record, because
senator Durbin knows I repeatedly asked for those flight logs, I brought up
the subpoena. You even shut down the committee because you didn’t want
that, I submitted that in writing, and you continue to misrepresent that,”
Blackburn later chimed in.
Durbin, for his part, maintained that Blackburn failed to commit this to
writing.
