Our Republican colleagues say: Is this not enough? Why don't you want to speak to her now?' We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar."
"I said Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone's time because Democrats were bitching and wasting everyone's time. Pam Bon"
House Democrats staged a walkout from a closed-door briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the handling of Jeffrey Epstein investigation files. The committee had previously voted to subpoena Bondi, with five Republicans joining Democrats to demand answers about the Justice Department's failure to properly release millions of files from the federal Epstein investigation. Democrats left the briefing after less than an hour, protesting Bondi's refusal to commit to testifying under oath. Democratic representatives cited concerns about Bondi's credibility and accused her of obstructing document releases. Committee Chair James Comer defended the briefing arrangement, dismissing Democratic complaints.
