Pressure is mounting in Washington for a deeper accounting of Jeffrey Epstein’s network, and Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that federal investigators are still working to identify anyone who may have assisted the disgraced financier.
Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Bondi confirmed that the Justice Department has active inquiries underway. Responding to a question from Rep. Chip Roy about whether additional indictments could follow, she told lawmakers, “We have pending investigations in our office.” She did not disclose how many individuals are under review or provide details about their identities.
Bondi’s remarks come as scrutiny intensifies around the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the office that previously handled major Epstein-related prosecutions. She has directed U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to continue examining possible ties between Epstein and prominent political figures.
The issue has become a flashpoint on Capitol Hill, with Republicans and Democrats zeroing in on different political figures linked socially to Epstein. Some GOP lawmakers have called for further examination of former President Bill Clinton’s interactions with Epstein, pointing to photographs recently released by the Justice Department pursuant to new congressional requirements. Meanwhile, Democrats have highlighted former President Donald Trump’s past association with Epstein and urged comparable scrutiny.
Neither Clinton nor Trump has been accused of criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Still, lawmakers from both parties say victims deserve a full accounting of who may have aided or enabled Epstein’s crimes. As new documents are prepared for public release, calls for transparency — and potential accountability — are likely to intensify.
