"A photograph taken during U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's combative appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday suggests that the Justice Department has been tracking the search history of lawmakers who are combing through the unredacted Epstein files."
"Jayapal was one of many lawmakers who visited the Department of Justice (DOJ) this week to determine the motivation behind the agency's numerous alarming redaction errors in the rollout of the Epstein files, which improperly revealed the identities of dozens of Epstein's victims while concealing the names of many of his associates."
"For us to go in and review the Epstein documents, and then to know that they have kept the search history of exactly what we searched for - and why was it that she brought that in her binder?"
"Was she going to use that against me? Did they get that document for every single person? And what were they going to do with it?"
A photograph taken during Attorney General Pam Bondi's House Judiciary Committee appearance showed notes that included the search history of Rep. Pramila Jayapal. Photojournalists captured an image of Bondi's notes while she testified. Bondi's binder listed at least eight Epstein-related documents Jayapal examined, including file numbers and descriptions. Jayapal and other lawmakers visited the Department of Justice to investigate alarming redaction errors that exposed dozens of Epstein victims while concealing names of many associates. Jayapal's team is reaching out to the DOJ to determine why her searches were tracked and whether other lawmakers' search histories were retained or could be used against them. The revelation raised questions about surveillance and recordkeeping practices.
