Bondi Hearing Erupts Over Epstein Files
Attorney General Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing erupted on Wednesday. Congressional Democrats accused Bondi of covering up Epstein files.
They said she turned the Justice Department into a weapon. The US House Judiciary Committee hearing featured shouting matches.
Bondi called Representative Jamie Raskin a "washed up lawyer" during one argument. Representative Jerry Nadler also argued with Bondi at the hearing. Bondi declined to apologize to Epstein victims during questioning.
Klear Note — The Epstein files contain documents about financier Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Confirmation hearings let Congress question nominees before voting on them.
