"We are joined in this room by some of the thousands of survivors from Jeffrey Epstein's horrific sex trafficking ring,"
"To those survivors in the room, if you are willing-please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands if you have still not been able to meet with this Department of Justice."
"It is about you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice, and the harm that it has done to the survivors who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to turn to them and apologize."
"I'm not going to get in the gutter for her theatrics,"
Attorney General Pam Bondi faced a bipartisan congressional grilling over her management of the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. Bondi repeatedly deflected questions, read from an anti-Democratic "burn book," praised former President Donald Trump, and attempted to pivot away from inquiries about Department of Justice actions. Lawmakers invited survivors of Epstein's trafficking ring to stand and indicate if they had not been able to meet with the Department of Justice; eleven victims in the room raised their hands. Lawmakers demanded responsibility and an apology for harm to survivors; Bondi refused to engage with survivors and called their presence "theatrics."
