Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, has testified before a US congressional committee regarding her knowledge of the Jeffrey Epstein network, alleging that the late financier had extensive ties with prominent political and business figures worldwide. The testimony, described as “explosive” by committee members, has prompted Britain to lead international demands for a full disclosure of evidence. Bondi claimed that Epstein maintained a web of influence that spanned multiple continents, involving high-ranking officials and royalty.
The revelations have intensified scrutiny of Epstein’s associates, with particular focus on Britain, where Epstein resided and entertained in the past. Downing Street has issued a statement calling for transparency and cooperation with US investigations. The testimony also raises questions about the effectiveness of previous judicial responses to Epstein’s crimes.
Analysts note that the allegations could further destabilise public trust in institutions that have historically handled such cases with insufficient rigour. The committee is expected to release additional documents in the coming weeks.
