The Trump admin couldn't hand Democrats a fatter pitch than how they've handled the Epstein release...
On Wednesday,Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed repeatedly with Democrats during a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing, deflecting pointed questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files before the sessiondevolved into a shouting match with Rep.Thomas Massie (R-KY)over redactions, co-conspirators and DOJ accountability.
The fireworks began when Rep.Jerry Nadler (D-NY)pressed Bondi on whether DOJ has indicted or is investigating any of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators, citing what he called “concrete evidence of disgusting criminality” in recently released files. Bondi attempted to sidestep the question; when Nadler repeated it,she raised her voice and insisted she would “answer the question the way I want to answer the question,”talking over Nadler as colleagues tried to intercede. As the exchange escalated, Bondi pivoted away from Epstein entirely -invoking the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq and touting retirement accounts.
Bondi: The DOW is over 50,000. That’s what we should be talking about. They just asked what does the DOW have to do with anything. ARE YOU KIDDING?pic.twitter.com/nl5ueU867x
Democrats kept the pressure on.Rep.Ted Lieu (D-CA)accused Bondi of lying under oathafter she cited a July 2025 DOJ memo asserting there was no evidence warranting investigations of “uncharged third parties.” Lieu pointed to images of former Prince Andrew and then played a clip of Donald Trump with Epstein, asking whether there were underage girls present. Bondi responded by attacking Democrats and praising Trump, sayingthere was “no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.”When Lieu cited an FBI tip and witness statement and urged DOJ to interview the witness, Bondi snapped, “Don’t you ever accuse me of a crime,” then turned to a large white binder as she accused Lieu of deflecting from crime in his district.

Similar exchanges followed with Rep.Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), with Bondi repeatedly veering into personal attacks and unrelated topics rather than answering the questions posed. ChairmanJim Jordan (R-OH)ultimately moved the hearing along.
REP JAMIE RASKIN: "You can let her filibuster all day long, but not on our watch, not on our time. No way. And I told you about that, attorney general, before you started."AG BONDI: "You don't tell me anything you washed-up loser lawyer — not even a lawyer."pic.twitter.com/ouaDRGhz2I
Rep. Jayapal (D-WA) brought Epstein accusers...
