REP. MASSIE: “Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner’s name as a co-conspirator in a FBI document? Do you have that kind of accountability?” BONDI: “I believe Wexner’s name was listed more than 4,000 times about—” MASSIE: “Yeah, I already told you that.”

AG Bondi on Epstein file redactions: “If any man’s name was redacted that should not have been, we will, of course, un-redact it. If a victim’s name was un-redacted, please bring it to us and we will redact it. We were given 30 days...our error rate is very low.”

NADLER: How many of Epstein’s co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating? BONDI: First, you— NADLER: How many have you indicted? BONDI: Excuse me, I’m going to answer the question NADLER: Answer my question BONDI: No, I’m going to answer the question
