"Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, where the first few Democratic lawmakers to question her chose to focus on Epstein and the ongoing release of files related to his case by the Department of Justice. The tension reached a boiling point when Jayapal pushed Bondi to apologize to victims of Epstein in the room, while Bondi accused the lawmaker of putting on theatrics."
"I'm going to reclaim my time because I asked you a specific question that I would like you to answer which is will you turn to the survivors. This is not about anybody that came before you. It is about you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm that it has done to the survivor who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to turn to them and apologize for what your Department of Justice is doing, Jayapal said."
Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee and faced questions about the Department of Justice's release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Democratic lawmakers pressed Bondi on redactions and the DOJ's failure to meet a December deadline to release all files. Rep. Pramila Jayapal demanded that Bondi turn to and apologize to survivors present, prompting a heated exchange and cross-talk. Bondi accused Jayapal of theatrics and refused to engage, saying she would not get in the gutter with the congresswoman. Committee Chair Jim Jordan attempted to restore order while Epstein’s death in 2019 was noted.
