AG Bondi SUBPOENAED by Congress to TESTIFY on EPSTEIN COVER-UP

FBI files show a young girl accused Trump of sexual abuse, but those documents were removed from the Epstein release.
In this midweek edition of Legal AF, former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo and legal analyst Lisa Graves cover several intersecting legal and political stories. The episode opens with the Epstein investigation, where the House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the handling of Epstein-related documents. Five Republican members joined Democrats in the vote, making it bipartisan. The hosts detail how investigative reporting, including work by NPR, found that FBI interview records (302 forms) were numerically missing from the document release. These reportedly include interviews with at least one person who described herself as a survivor of sexual abuse by Donald Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The hosts note that this testimony was apparently treated as credible by the FBI and was part of the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. Representative Jamie Raskin reported that Trump's name appeared over a million times in the unreleased documents he viewed under DOJ supervision. The discussion covers Hillary Clinton's deposition, which by most accounts went well for her, and the upcoming testimony of Bill Clinton, whom the hosts note does have substantive questions to answer about his relationship with Epstein. They point out that Melania Trump was not called to testify despite closer proximity to the situation than Hillary Clinton. Ghislaine Maxwell's refusal to testify and her subsequent transfer to a more comfortable federal facility is also examined. The episode then shifts to the U.S. military operations against Iran. The hosts argue that the timing of the conflict serves as a distraction from the Epstein story and from domestic issues including ICE enforcement actions. They note that Trump previously claimed to have "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program months earlier, making the stated justification for the current military action inconsistent. The War Powers Resolution is discussed in detail, including its 48-hour notification requirement and 60-day authorization window. Lisa Graves draws parallels to the Iraq War, noting the lack of an exit strategy and the reported claims from dozens of troops that commanding officers framed the mission in religious terms about Armageddon. Both hosts express concern that the conflict could be used to justify postponing midterm elections, though they note America held elections in 1944 during World War II. The final major segment covers the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision striking down Trump's tariff authority. Despite Trump calling it a victory, the hosts describe it as a clear loss. Over 2,000 cases are pending in the U.S. Court of International Trade, with businesses seeking refunds of more than $130 billion in tariffs collected. An appeals court denied the administration's request to delay refunds until June, and the hosts discuss whether a global resolution rather than case-by-case litigation will be needed. The hosts also briefly cover Trump's reversal on executive orders targeting law firms that employed former Mueller investigation attorneys, noting that Stephen Miller reportedly pushed back on dropping the cases, leading to another reversal.
