Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a passionate and combative defense of Donald Trump during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, fiercely deflecting criticism over the Justice Department's handling of Jeffrey Epstein files and clashing repeatedly with Democrats.
Attorney General Pam Bondi vehemently defended President Donald Trump and his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files during a contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing. Besieged by questions and accusations of a weaponized Justice Department, Bondi aggressively pivoted, praising Trump's successes and aligning herself as his chief protector. She repeatedly shouted at and mocked Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of using the Epstein files as a distraction. The hearing quickly devolved into a partisan brawl, with Bondi exchanging insults, including calling a Democratic representative a 'washed-up loser lawyer.' Despite Republicans' attempts to shift focus to law enforcement issues, Bondi consistently deflected direct questions from Democrats, leading to their exasperation. Bondi also addressed Epstein victims, expressing sorrow and promising investigations into any new accusations, even as she continues to face backlash over her past distribution of Epstein-related binders.
