Bondi Ouster Linked To Epstein Cover Up
- Ro Khanna says Pam Bondi was fired mainly for covering up Epstein files and losing congressional confidence.
- Khanna credits the Epstein Transparency Act and contempt efforts for forcing disclosure that revealed 3 million unreleased documents.
Force Nominees To Commit To Epstein Transparency
- Khanna urges the Senate to demand nominees commit to fully releasing and unredacting Epstein files during confirmation.
- He warns MAGA voters will punish nominees who promise transparency and then backtrack, making it a leverage point.
Firing Doesn’t End Congressional Oversight
