"Besieged by questions over Epstein and accusations of a weaponized Justice Department, Bondi aggressively pivoted in an extraordinary speech in which she mocked her Democratic questioners, praised Trump over the performance of the stock market and openly aligned herself as in sync with a president whom she painted as a victim of past impeachments and investigations. You sit here and you attack the president and I'm not going to have it, Bondi told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee."
"The hearing quickly devolved into a partisan brawl, with Bondi repeatedly lobbing insults at Democrats while insisting she was not going to get in the gutter with them. In one particularly fiery exchange, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland accused Bondi of refusing to answer his questions, prompting the attorney general to call the top Democrat on the committee a washed-up loser lawyer not even a lawyer."
Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a forceful defense of President Donald Trump and the Justice Department amid questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files. Bondi shouted at Democrats and mocked questioners while aligning herself as the president's protector. She praised Trump by citing the stock market's performance and framed him as a victim of past impeachments and investigations. Victims of Epstein sat behind Bondi during the hearing as she defended the department's handling of the files. Bondi accused Democrats of using Epstein to distract from Trump's successes, despite Republican initiation of the furor and Bondi's own role distributing binders. The hearing devolved into partisan brawling and personal insults, including a remark calling Rep. Jamie Raskin a washed-up loser lawyer not even a lawyer.
