Bondi attempts to turn the page on Epstein with visit to Alcatraz amid plans to reopen infamous prison


Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum visited Alcatraz on Thursday, where they are expected to announce plans to reopen the dilapidated California state prison that closed decades ago for being too expensive to operate and has since been transformed into a museum.

Bondi’s visit comes as she finds herself at the center of the Jeffrey Epstein controversy and the fallout from her decision not to release more records related to the ex-financier’s sex trafficking operation, including a purported list of his clients she has since denied exists.
