布兰奇在被问及邦迪被解职后是否会继续担任司法部长一职时提及特朗普的“情谊”

据福克斯新闻数字频道获取的准备好的开场发言副本显示，前司法部长帕姆·邦迪周五在众议院监督与政府改革委员会作证时，为特朗普政府发布杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件的工作进行了辩护。
“在今天的听证会开始前，我想重申我多次说过的话，关于在我担任司法部长期间，司法部处理如今通常被称为‘爱泼斯坦文件’的大量材料的方式，”她在发言中对委员会说道。
“我为司法部在我领导下的工作记录和对透明度的承诺感到自豪。我们在司法部搜索、收集和审查爱泼斯坦文件的过程中，展现了前所未有的透明度承诺，共发布了近300万页材料，其中包括数千份视频和数十万张图片，”邦迪坚定地说道。
据福克斯新闻获悉，邦迪在自愿接受众议院监督委员会的转录采访后已离开国会山。周五的采访进行了转录，但未进行录像。

“这些调查横跨四届政府，最早可追溯至布什政府，历经奥巴马政府、首届特朗普政府以及拜登政府。只有在唐纳德·特朗普担任总统期间，联邦检察官才被允许对爱泼斯坦和麦克斯韦展开调查。只有在特朗普总统任期内，300万份与爱泼斯坦相关的文件才得以发布，”邦迪在准备好的发言中说道。
这位前司法部长进一步将该过程描述为“极其复杂且劳动密集型的工作”。
“据我所知，司法部发布了《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》要求的所有内容。我们为收集材料付出了勤勉且善意的努力，确保所有合理范围内可找到的相关潜在文件都能公之于众，”她在发言副本中写道。
“司法部所有部门都被要求提交任何潜在的相关记录，这使得对数百万份文件进行了全面审查。作为肩负广泛职责的大型司法部负责人，我没有领导这项工作的每个方面，也没有亲自进行文件审查。我将这一过程的监督工作委托给了副司法部长托德·布兰奇，”邦迪继续说道。
特朗普总统于4月2日宣布邦迪离职后，布兰奇被任命为代理司法部长。他并不被视为司法部部长邦迪的永久继任者。

邦迪周五对委员会表示，“审查我们收集的所有材料的专业团队向我保证，被扣留的材料要么不相关，要么受特权保护，要么属于重复材料。”
“尽管该法案并未要求这样做，但司法部已让国会能够在阅览室查阅未编辑的重复材料，以尽最大努力实现透明，”邦迪说道。
“确实存在编辑错误，”她继续说道。“但从这项工作启动的第一天起，司法部就致力于问责和透明。我们的立场始终是，司法部随时准备审查任何与爱泼斯坦及其同伙相关的犯罪活动潜在证据，并将根据事实和法律，在有必要时采取适当的调查或起诉行动。”

“我想重申我在2月份向众议院司法委员会分享过的话：我整个职业生涯都在为受害者而战，并且我将继续这样做。我对任何受害者所经历的一切深感痛心，尤其是那个恶魔所造成的伤害。如果他们有任何信息可以向执法部门提供，指认任何伤害他们或虐待他们的人，联邦调查局正等着听取他们的证词，”邦迪的开场声明写道。

“归根结底：在特朗普总统及其政府的指示下，这一事件实现了正义与透明，”她坚定地说道。
据本周的报道，邦迪在上个月离开司法部后不久被诊断出患有甲状腺癌。前白宫幕僚长、播客主持人凯蒂·米勒嫁给了负责政策的白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒，她周二在X平台上转发了Axios的一篇报道。
“帕姆在过去几周里一直在悄悄战胜癌症，”她写道。

Blanche invokes Trump ‘love’ when pressed on staying in AG role after Bondi’s ouster
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche lavished praise on Donald Trump during a press conference, saying when asked if he wanted to replace Pam Bondi permanently that the decision was up to the president.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who spoke before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Friday, stood behind the Trump administration’s work releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a copy of her prepared opening remarks obtained by Fox News Digital.
“Before we start today, I want to reiterate what I have said many times regarding the Department’s handling during my tenure as Attorney General of the voluminous materials that are now commonly known as the Epstein Files,” she told the committee, according to the document.
“I am proud of the Department’s record and commitment to transparency under my leadership. We demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to transparency in the Department’s search for, collection, and review of the Epstein files, producing nearly 3 million pages of material, including thousands of videos and hundreds of thousands of images,” Bondi asserted.
Bondi has since departed from the Capitol following her voluntary transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee, Fox News has learned. Friday’s interview was transcribed, though not video recorded.

“These investigations span FOUR administrations, dating back to the Bush administration and have gone on through the Obama administration, the first Trump administration, and the Biden administration. The only time federal prosecutors were permitted to launch investigations against Epstein and Maxwell was when President Trump occupied the White House. Only under President Trump were 3 million Epstein related documents released,” Bondi said, according to her prepared remarks.
The former attorney general further described “an enormously complicated and labor-intensive process.”
“To the best of my knowledge, the Department produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Our diligent and good faith effort to collect materials ensured that all potentially responsive documents that could be reasonably located would see the light of day,” she noted, according to the copy of her remarks.
“All Department components were directed to submit any potentially responsive records, resulting in a comprehensive review of millions of documents. As the head of a large Department with broad responsibilities, I did not lead every aspect of this effort or conduct that document review myself. I delegated oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,” Bondi continue.
Blanche was appointed acting attorney general on April 2 after President Donald Trump announced Bondi’s departure. He is not considered Bondi’s permanent replacement as head of the DOJ.

Bondi told the committee on Friday that “the team of professionals who reviewed all of the materials that we collected assured me the only materials that were withheld were either non-responsive, privileged, or duplicative.”
“Although not required by the Act, the Department has given Congress access to unredacted, duplicative materials in the Reading Room in an effort at maximum transparency,” Bondi said.
“There were redaction errors,” she continued. “But since day one of this process, this Department has been committed to accountability and transparency. Our stance has always been that the Department stands ready to review any potential evidence of criminal activity related to Epstein and his associates and would pursue appropriate investigative or prosecutorial action wherever the facts and law warrant.”

“I would like to repeat what I shared before the House Judiciary Committee in February: I have spent my entire career fighting for victims and I will continue to do so. I am deeply sorry for what any victim has been through, especially as a result of that monster. If they have any information to share with law enforcement about anyone who has hurt them or abused them, the FBI is waiting to hear from them,” Bondi’s opening statement said.

“The bottom line is: justice and transparency in this matter have been delivered at the direction of President Trump and his administration,” she asserted.
Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after departing the Department of Justice last month, according to reports this week. Katie Miller, a former White House staffer and podcast host who is married to White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, reposted an Axios report on X on Tuesday.
“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,” she wrote.
