Epstein survivors are demanding action from the Justice Department ahead of Pam Bondi’s testimony.

### *Epstein Survivors Demand Justice from DOJ Ahead of Pam Bondi’s Testimony*

**Washington, D.C. —** Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse are intensifying their calls for **action from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)** as Attorney General **Pam Bondi** prepares to testify before the House Judiciary Committee this week. Their demands come amid growing frustration over the DOJ’s handling of millions of pages of documents related to the Epstein case. ([Newsweek][1])

In a letter sent to Bondi ahead of her scheduled Feb. 11 testimony, survivors and their legal teams outlined **15 pointed questions** they believe Bondi must answer publicly. The group says that recent DOJ releases of Epstein-related records — many heavily redacted — have failed to provide transparency and, in some cases, **exposed identifying information about victims after supposed protections were applied**.

Advocates for survivors argue that the department’s approach **echoes the secrecy that allowed Epstein’s crimes to persist for years**. They contend that inadequate redactions, delayed compliance with the *Epstein Files Transparency Act*, and a perceived lack of accountability for powerful individuals mentioned in the files have eroded confidence in the justice process.

The pressure has not been limited to written advocacy. In a widely shared **Super Bowl Sunday public service announcement**, survivors teamed with anti-trafficking advocates to urge Bondi and the DOJ to release the remaining files in full, without excessive blackouts, and to fulfill the intent of the transparency law.

Bondi has defended the department’s work, acknowledging some **errors in redaction** and saying that more than 500 DOJ reviewers have been involved in processing the documents. She and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also said steps were taken to remove documents identified for further review after victims flagged concerns. ([New York Post][4])

Still, survivors say those efforts fall short of delivering justice. With Bondi’s testimony set for Wednesday, advocates and lawmakers alike are watching closely for whether she will address the questions raised and outline how the DOJ plans to respond substantively to the survivors’ demands for full transparency and accountability.
