Asked about her previous comments that an Epstein client list was “sitting on my desk right now,” Bondi accused Sen. Dick Durbin of not listening to her entire remarks.
Durbin pressed Bondi on Senate Democrats’ previous claims that FBI personnel were directed to “flag” mentions of Trump in files related to Epstein. Bondi pushed back, accusing Durbin of accepting campaign donations from a friend of Epstein and pushing against GOP requests to release flight logs from Epstein’s jet.
“I did not refuse,” Durbin said, referring to the flight logs. “One of the senators here wished to produce those logs, and I asked her to put it in writing, and she never did.”
The senator, Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., then pushed back on Durbin’s assertion, saying she had submitted her request in writing and would be willing to do so again.
Durbin continued, pressing Bondi again on FBI personnel reportedly asked to flag any instances of Trump’s name appearing in the Epstein files.
“I’m not going to discuss anything about that with you, Senator,” Bondi said.
“Eventually you’re going to have to answer for your conduct in this, and you won’t do it today, but eventually you will,” Durbin responded.
