Attorney General Pam Bondi dodged questions on the Jeffrey Epstein files or on any clashes with FBI deputy director Dan Bongino during a Tuesday news conference. Why it matters: The MAGA faithful has been unhappy with Bondi's handling of the case since a Justice Department and FBI memo concluded there's no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Epstein kept a "client list" or that he was murdered.

Democrats in Congress want to force votes to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files. The party’s candidates are bringing up the Epstein case in campaign speeches. And at least one potential 2028 contender is fundraising off the furor.
