Pam Bondi explodes at Jamie Raskin, Dems during House Judiciary hearing in fiery clash: 'Washed-up, loser lawyer'

Attorney General Pam Bondi ripped House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) as a "washed-up, loser lawyer" before clashing with lawmakers of both parties during a Wednesday hearing.
President Trump's top law enforcement official testified before the panel following the release of millions of files related to the prosecution of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — with several victims in attendance.
Judiciary Democrats and one Republican accused Bondi of ignoring those victims and having her Department of Justice harmfully release documents identifying some of them — while redacting identities of members of Epstein's rich and powerful circle.
