Attorney General Pam Bondi faces scrutiny for her failure to deliver the full set of documents, despite previous declarations of imminent releases. Speculation continues to grow regarding the existence and content of alleged videos linked to Epstein. Republican lawmakers have demanded transparency and rapid action from the Department of Justice, expressing concerns over whether internal hurdles are impeding progress. With deadlines approaching and increasing pressure to fulfill transparency pledges, the DOJ&#8217;s handling of thes document releases is seen as a critical test for the administration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump DOJ draws frustration from GOP over stalled document releases<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2119935\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> promised to declassify and release thousands of pages of documents related to the hottest topics in the MAGA online world: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeffrey-epstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> files, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jfk-assassination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">JFK assassination<\/a> secrets, Russiagate smoking guns, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Months later, most of the records remain snarled in layers of bureaucracy, and the few that have been released have notably underwhelmed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3408537\/pam-bondi-brother-brad-bondi-dc-bar-president-democrat-criticism\/\">Pam Bondi&#8217;s brother&#8217;s race to lead DC Bar stokes controversy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3408087\/goldman-bondi-preventing-release-jeffrey-epstein-files\/\">Goldman accuses Bondi of preventing release of Epstein files, demands documents<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3407345\/trump-administration-takes-aim-schools-states-title-ix\/\">Trump administration takes aim at schools and states resisting Title IX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Attorney General Pam Bondi appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee for her confirmation hearing at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025.

These include records related to the Justice Department&rsquo;s handling of Trump-focused prosecutions, FBI memos targeting religious conservatives, and communications tied to school board investigations that predate Trump&rsquo;s second term.<\/p>\n<p>Burchett said those other investigations also deserve prompt responses. &ldquo;All of the above,&rdquo; he said when asked where he believes the DOJ is dragging its feet.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It just takes so much time.
