DOJ Blocks Pam Bondi From Testifying in House Epstein Probe, Rep. Walkinshaw Fires Back

The Department of Justice is once again putting up roadblocks in the House Oversight Committee’s probe of Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling sex trafficking operation. DOJ officials have declared that Attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify before the committee, sparking sharp condemnation from Rep. James Walkinshaw.

“They don’t want her to answer questions,” Walkinshaw said in a recent CNN interview, blasting the DOJ’s move as a blatant attempt to protect Bondi from scrutiny. Bondi’s ties to Epstein’s circle and her role during key moments of the investigation have raised serious concerns about the extent to which powerful figures helped shield Epstein and his enablers from justice.

Walkinshaw made clear that the committee will not back down. “We’re going to get her to talk this year or next,” he vowed, signaling a relentless pursuit of accountability despite DOJ stonewalling. He also hinted at internal DOJ dynamics, suggesting Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche might be orchestrating the cover-up to protect Bondi and, by extension, the administration.

This development fits a broader pattern of obstruction and secrecy surrounding the Epstein files. From the start, powerful interests have worked to keep the full truth hidden, ensuring that survivors and the public remain in the dark about the full scope of the trafficking network and its enablers.

The refusal to allow Bondi’s testimony is more than a procedural delay—it is a direct affront to democratic oversight and justice for Epstein’s victims. The DOJ’s protective stance raises urgent questions about how deep the corruption and cover-ups run within the highest levels of government.

Only Clowns Are Orange will continue to track this story as the House Oversight Committee pushes back against the DOJ’s obstruction. We will keep surfacing the facts and demanding transparency in the fight to hold Epstein’s enablers accountable. The American people deserve nothing less.
