Ro Khanna Says Top Trump Officials Could Face Impeachment Over Epstein Files Fiasco
HuffPost
The House Oversight Committee member also mentioned contempt charges in his comments about Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said during multiple TV appearances Friday that he and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are pondering impeachment charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing the newly released but heavily redacted Justice Department files on the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“Thomas Massie and I talked about it,” Khanna told “The Source” host Kaitlan Collins. “He’s working, as am I, on drafting articles of impeachment and inherent contempt. We haven’t decided whether to move it forward yet, but we’re in the process of doing it.”
“The problem that the attorney general has, if you just look at the comments to our social media feed, is the amount of MAGA influencers who are upset with her,” he continued. “The issue for her is not, ‘Are there gonna be 212 Democrats who would support it?’”
Khanna and Massie, who both serve on the House Oversight Committee, co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act and garnered enough bipartisan support to compel the Justice Department to release any remaining files within 30 days. The DOJ appeared to meet the Dec. 19 deadline, only to release a fraction of the documents — many heavily redacted.
The file release was also overseen by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who could face future charges, Khanna noted during an appearance on “Anderson Cooper 360” on Friday.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche suggested the DOJ may not comply with the legally mandated deadline to make the records public.
