ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS—DEFIANCE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT

In her conduct of the office of Attorney General of the United States, Pamela Bondi, contrary to her oath faithfully to execute the office of Attorney General of the United States and, to the best of her ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to adhere to the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), which was signed into law on November 19, 2025, by Donald J. Trump after it passed with a veto-proof majority of votes in Congress. The EFTA requires Ms. Bondi, as Attorney General with authority over the Epstein files in control of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), to produce all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys’ Offices, that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell; and prohibits Ms. Bondi from withholding, delaying, or redacting documents on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary. Ms. Bondi refused to adhere to the EFTA’s December 19, 2025, statutory deadline for disclosure. The purportedly final trove of documents released by the DOJ in January 2025 contained 3 million pages of documents. Many of these documents were heavily redacted and the DOJ continues to withhold documents, including communications from and involving Ms. Bondi and other officials within Donald J. Trump’s administration. Evidence logs indicate that amongst the withheld evidence are FBI interviews with a survivor who accuses Trump of sexual abuse. But while Ms. Bondi continues to defy the law in a manner that protects political leaders and other influential individuals, including Donald J. Trump himself, she failed to protect the victims. Although the only permissible redactions authorized by the law were intended to protect the victims, Ms. Bondi instead released at least dozens of sensitive documents, including nude photographs and personally identifiable information of Epstein’s victims. In refusing to produce the Epstein files and the materials, documents, and other things contained therein, in failing to adhere to the redaction guidance provided by Congress that was intended to facilitate the protection of Epstein’s victims, and instead redacting and withholding the documents in such a manner as to protect herself, Donald J. Trump, and other influential members or allies of the Trump administration, Pamela Bondi interposed the powers of the Department of Justice against the laws of this country. In so doing, Pamela Bondi knowingly and intentionally abused the power of her office to shield individuals named in the Epstein files, including but not limited to Donald J. Trump, from accountability and oversight by Congress, and demonstrated gross incompetence in failing to protect Epstein’s victims. In all of this, Pamela Bondi has acted in a manner contrary to her trust as Attorney General and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, Pamela Bondi, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
