Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to apologize to the victims ofJeffrey Epsteinand lashed out atDemocratsfor 'theatrics' during acongressionalhearing on Wednesday.
She faced a grilling by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday after the Justice Department released millions of Epstein files - including documents which redacted the names of the pedophile's associates and identified some victims.
The AG furiously clashed with Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin ofMaryland, who accused Bondi of filibustering after she rebutted the lawmaker's attacks with remarkable range, even referring to the boomingstock market.
'I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started speaking,' Raskin said.
Bondi snarled back: 'You don't tell me anything. You washed-up loser, you're not even a lawyer.'
Before hiselectionto Congress, Raskin was a professor at American University Washington College of Law.
The AG also fired back when Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington invited her to apologize to Epstein's victims, beckoning women inside the hearing room to stand up and raise their hands.
'Will you turn to the survivors now and apologize for what your DOJ has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein Files and their [private] information?' Jayapal asked.
