Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. She faced heavy criticism about how the Justice Department handled files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the well-connected financier. The hearing turned into a partisan fight. Bondi defended President Donald Trump and refused to answer Democratic questions about the Epstein files.
One lawmaker called the situation “pathetic” and walked out. “You sit here and you attack the president and I’m not going to have it,” Bondi told lawmakers, according to the Vermont Public. “I am not going to put up with it.”
