Bondi Blasted for Epstein List Containing Dead Celebrities
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s department faced significant backlash after releasing a list of individuals mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files, which critics deemed an attempt to obstruct transparency. The list included historical figures like Marilyn Monroe and Janis Joplin, who died long before Epstein’s crimes, alongside contemporary political figures and already known associates. This inclusion of deceased individuals and the broad categorizations of “politically exposed persons” were criticized as a tactic to dilute the impact of the names of those actively involved with Epstein. Despite Bondi’s assertion that the Department of Justice fulfilled the Epstein Files Transparency Act, many, including lawmakers and commentators, accused the DOJ of “muddying the waters” and protecting powerful individuals by hiding relevant names among irrelevant ones.
