⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This page documents institutional conflicts of interest
in the oversight of the Epstein investigation.
🔴 CONFLICT OF INTEREST — AG OVERSEEING OWN NAME
Source: DOJ Section 3 Report
Pam Bondi was confirmed as U.S. Attorney General in 2025 — the chief law enforcement
officer of the United States. She now oversees the DOJ and FBI, including any ongoing investigations related
to the Epstein case.
HER NAME IS ON THE LIST: Bondi appears in the DOJ Section 3 Report — the same report
produced by the department she now leads. As AG, she has authority over what gets investigated, what gets
released, and what gets buried.
🏭 SWORN IN BY CLARENCE THOMAS

Bondi was sworn in as Attorney General by Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas in the Oval Office, alongside President Trump.
This was the first time Trump participated in a second-term swearing-in of a Cabinet member.
“Bondi was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas earlier Wednesday alongside Trump in the
Oval Office. It the first time that Trump had participated in a second-term swearing-in of a Cabinet member,
underscoring Trump’s intense personal interest in the operations of the department that investigated him
during his first term and indicted him after he left office in 2021.”

THE CIRCLE: Thomas — who is
named in Epstein victim depositions —
swore in Bondi, who is named on the DOJ list, in a ceremony with Trump, who appears
355 times in the files. The AG now controls the investigation into all of them.
📜 FIRST DIRECTIVES AS AG
Source: EFTA01655577
On her first day, Bondi signed 14 directives designed to roll back Biden administration
policies and align the Justice Department with White House priorities. These directives included purging
career employees viewed as disloyal and exerting presidential control over federal law enforcement.
PRIORITIES: The same week Bondi took office, child exploitation indictments were already
trending downward and FBI agents were being reassigned from child exploitation units to immigration
enforcement. Her
FBI Director Kash Patel would later confirm the Epstein estate
is refusing to cooperate with investigators.
🏝 FLORIDA AG — EPSTEIN’S STATE
Source: Florida AG records
Before becoming U.S. AG, Bondi served as Florida Attorney General (2011–2019) —
the state where Epstein’s primary abuse operation was centered (Palm Beach). During her tenure as
Florida AG, Epstein was already a registered sex offender operating in her jurisdiction under the lenient
terms of the 2007 plea deal.
QUESTION: What, if any, action did Bondi’s office take regarding Epstein’s compliance
with sex offender registration requirements while she was Florida’s chief law enforcement officer?
Epstein was granted extraordinary work release privileges that allowed him to leave county jail 6 days a
week — all within Bondi’s jurisdiction.
