The House oversight committee’s recent interviews with former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Metropolitan Correctional Center guard Tova Noel offered fresh insight into two of the most enduring mysteries surrounding Jeffrey Epstein: whether additional people may have escaped accountability, and how one of the nation’s most notorious inmates died under federal supervision.

According to transcripts of interviews released Thursday, Bondi told lawmakers that Justice Department officials were concerned from the outset about potential unindicted Epstein co-conspirators and were actively assessing whether additional investigations were warranted.
