Melanie Stansbury: “This administration is testing us. They are testing the truth, testing the law, but, most importantly, they are testing…”

On the recordApril 15, 2026
This administration is testing us. They are testing the truth, testing the law, but, most importantly, they are testing our resolve in the Epstein case and whether or not they can continue to lie and commit crimes right in front of our faces. Yesterday, Pam Bondi was ordered to appear in front of the Oversight and Reform Committee and did not come. Todd Blanche said that he would not release any more files because perhaps they believed that Donald Trump's blanket pardon would excuse them and save their bacon. So let me be clear: You are breaking the law, and I hope you are getting ready to face contempt. To the survivors out there who have been through decades of injustice in this case: Know that we are fighting, and while the road to justice may be long, we will not stop until we get it.
