Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Friday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public a collection of documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The disclosure follows repeated appeals from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has consistently called for more openness in the investigation.
Speaking at a press conference held at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, Bondi credited Grassley’s persistence and highlighted the Justice Department’s broader mission to uphold transparency.
“Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey‘s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State. I commend Chairman Grassley for his unwavering, years-long commitment to exposing the truth and holding those who seek to conceal it accountable,” Bondi said.
The timing of the release coincides with renewed questions surrounding Bondi’s office, particularly in relation to how it has managed documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Of particular note are accusations that several minutes’ worth of footage surrounding the alleged suicide of Epstein is missing from supposedly “raw” surveillance footage from near his cell released by the DOJ and the FBI.
