Kentucky congressman says he lacks confidence in the attorney general following dispute over document redactions and accountability.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Sunday he does not have confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing concerns over accountability and document redactions related to records connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” host Martha Raddatz asked, “Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as attorney general?”
Massie responded, “I don’t think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn’t confident enough to engage in anything but name calling and hearing. And so no, I don’t have confidence in her. She hasn’t got any sort of accountability there at the DOJ. When I asked her specifically who redacted Lesley Wexner’s name from the one document that mattered, she couldn’t give me an answer. She wouldn’t give me an answer. But ultimately, it’s her who is responsible for the document production. According to our law, the attorney general. It’s not Todd Blanche, it’s not the people below them. You can assign tasks to people, but you can’t assign your responsibility.”
Massie further stated, “This is about the Epstein class, the people who are funding the attacks against me. They may or may not be implicated in these files, but they were certainly rubbing shoulders with the people who are in these files. They’re billionaires who are friends with these people. And that’s what I’m up against.”
The comments come amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Department of Justice’s handling and release of documents tied to Epstein and related investigations. Bondi has not publicly responded to Massie’s remarks as of Sunday.
