What documents in the released Epstein files mention or reference Pam Bondi by name?

1. What the Justice Department released that explicitly includes Bondi’s name or words

The Department of Justice’s public announcement of the first phase of declassified Epstein files includes direct quotes attributed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and identifies her as the official releasing the tranche, so that press document itself names and quotes Bondi ^[1]. Separately, Bondi’s written communications to federal judges — letters reporting the scope of review, redaction progress and logistical “glitches” in the production — are in the public record and were cited in news coverage of the releases ^{[2] [4]}. Those court-update letters are part of the corpus surrounding the release and thus are among the documents that reference her by name ^{[2] [4]}.

2. Internal DOJ communications: only a “handful” appear, watchdogs say

Independent watchdog and advocacy groups have complained that the mass release conspicuously lacks the expected volume of internal communications from top DOJ officials; the Democracy Defenders Fund’s complaint argues only a “handful” of communications from Bondi (and from Deputy AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel) appear in the production and that many such records were impermissibly withheld or narrowed in scope ^[3]. That complaint, reported by Axios, asserts the Epstein Files Transparency Act was intended to force broader disclosure of internal DOJ communications, including messages concerning charging and investigative decisions, and that Bondi-related materials seem underrepresented in the released set ^[3].

3. Congressional, media and survivor scrutiny point to specific Bondi documents in the record, but not a comprehensive list

Members of Congress asked for access to unredacted files ahead of Bondi’s House hearing and cited Bondi’s written updates to judges and public statements when pressing for fuller access, indicating those letters and press statements are the concrete Bondi-referenced items most readily identifiable in the record ^{[5] [2]}. Media timelines and reporting also point to Bondi’s televised comments (for example, a Fox News interview saying a purported “client list” sat on her desk) and to the letters to judges as the principal Bondi-authored or Bondi-attributed documents embedded in the release cycle ^{[6] [2]}.

4. Disputed scope and redactions: why a complete inventory isn’t available in reporting

DOJ officials and Bondi’s office have maintained the release required extensive manual review and redaction — and that millions of pages had to be culled or protected to shield victims and ongoing investigations — which the department says explains omissions and the pace of production ^{[7] [4]}. Critics counter that the Transparency Act narrowed few valid exemptions and that more Bondi-related internal records should have been produced; reporting cites both positions but does not produce a publicly available, itemized manifest that isolates every document that names Bondi ^{[3] [7]}.

5. Bottom line and limits of available evidence

Based on public DOJ statements, court letters and contemporaneous reporting, the identifiable documents in the released Epstein corpus that mention or reference Pam Bondi by name are the DOJ press release quoting her, Bondi’s letters to judges about redaction and production progress, and a small number of internal communications that watchdogs say appear (and many more they say do not) ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Reporting does not supply a full, page-by-page inventory of every released file that names Bondi, and the Democracy Defenders complaint and congressional requests make clear that both the quantity and completeness of Bondi-related documents in the public tranche are disputed ^{[3] [5]}.
