Democrats demand meeting with Bondi over ‘spying’ on Epstein files access
House Democrats demanded a meeting with Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday over the Justice Department’s alleged “spying” on members of Congress accessing the Epstein files.
Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MA), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Robert Garcia (D-CA) wrote a combative letter to Bondi, just two days after her equally bellicose hearing. In it, the Democrats demanded the DOJ stop “spying” on members of Congress, and immediately give them “meaningful access to the fully unredacted Epstein files.”
“On Wednesday, a photograph of a page in the ‘burn book’ binder you brought to a House Committee on the Judiciary hearing revealed to Congress and the world that your DOJ has been secretly tracking Members of Congress as they review the slightly-less-redacted Epstein files,” they wrote.
“This surveillance of Members as we perform our constitutional oversight duties, done without our knowledge or consent, is a blatant violation of the separation of powers and further evidence that this DOJ will stop at nothing to protect Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s co-conspirators, accomplices, and enablers while denying justice to survivors and the American people,” the Democrats added.
One piece of evidence outlined in the document was Bondi’s document displayed in the hearing titled “Jayapal Pramila Search History,” which her team confirmed as authentic.

The trio described Bondi’s conduct as “so outrageous” that it even earned the condemnation of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
They demanded Bondi provide a date to meet with them before Feb. 20 and to outline a method by which members of Congress can view the unredacted files in a convenient way without being watched.
