Epstein Ties, Olympic Scandal, & Airport Mystery

Attorney General Pam Bondi declined to directly apologize to victims of Jeffrey Epstein during a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, according to Time. The hearing focused on the Department of Justice's handling of the late convicted sex offender's case. Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington pressed Bondi on the matter, highlighting the fact that every Epstein survivor present at the hearing had indicated they had not yet been able to meet with the Department of Justice.

The hearing, as reported by Time, saw Jayapal ask Bondi if she would apologize to the victims for the actions of the Department of Justice. Bondi did not directly respond with an apology. This event is one of several high-profile controversies dominating headlines, as reported by NPR News.

Meanwhile, other news stories are also making headlines. According to Vox, the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina are facing scrutiny due to athlete scandals. The article details "credit card theft, penis injections, and other weird scandals" threatening to overshadow the athletic events.

Also, Vox reported on the mysterious closure and reopening of the El Paso International Airport. The airport was briefly shut down, causing overnight panic, though the exact reason for the closure remained unclear.

In other news, Variety reported on the 40th anniversary of the Berlinale Teddy Awards, which celebrate queer cinema. NPR News also mentioned the 2028 Olympics leadership as another area of current scrutiny.
