Bondi hearing devolves into chaos of shouts as AG accuses top Democrats of 'theatrics'

Attorney General Pam Bondi's hearing before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday devolved into a chaos of shouts and interruptions as she clashed with several Democratic committee members.

Several Epstein victims were present in the room during Bondi's testimony, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., asked Bondi to turn around and apologize to them directly for allegedly failing to protect them amid investigations. Bondi rejected the premise and accused Jayapal of resorting to "theatrics."

"Attorney General Bondi, you apologized to the survivors in your opening statement for what they went through at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. Will you turn to them now and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through – with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information?" Jayapal asked.
