Congressional investigation into Epstein case files yields little accountability.
Congress has spent nearly a year investigating Jeffrey Epstein's crimes with limited results. A transcribed interview with former Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday frustrated Democrats, who criticized her defense of the Trump administration's handling of the files. Lawmakers and survivors continue to seek criminal culpability and answers regarding government failures.
