"The US attorney general Pam Bondi attacked and insulted Democrats during a House judiciary committee hearing on Wednesday as she defended the justice department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats pounded Bondi with questions about the way the department has complied with a law last year mandating the complete release of the files with specific and limited room for redactions."
"Bondi avoided addressing the questions about the way the department has handled the files. After being pressed by the representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Bondi also declined to turn around from her seat at the hearing table and apologize to Epstein victims who were in the hearing room. I'm not going to get in the gutter with this woman. She's doing theatrics, Bondi said."
Pam Bondi attacked and insulted Democrats during a House Judiciary Committee hearing while defending the Justice Department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats pressed the department's compliance with a law that mandated complete release of the files with only limited redactions. The Justice Department released documents after the statutory deadline and faced scrutiny for disclosing survivors' names and inexplicably redacting names of people who may have committed crimes. Bondi declined to apologize to Epstein victims present in the hearing and refused to answer questions about the department's handling of the files. The department has repeatedly struggled with redactions, removing documents or altering redactions and losing credibility.
