Pam Bondi’s excuse for why a photo of President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary was wiped and subsequently re-added to the Justice Department’s published documents of the Epstein files has been revealed.

During her closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee last week, the axed former Attorney General spilled on the story behind a particular photo of Howard Lutnick, who had his own hearing last month about his relationship with disgraced sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

“This is a photograph that was produced on January 30th,” the committee said, according to the https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf" rel="" target="_self" title="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Final-Bondi-Transcript.pdf">transcript of the hearing released on Thursday. “It appears to be — and the committee’s understanding is that it is — a photograph of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other individuals with Mr. Epstein on Mr. Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands."
