POOL
Washington, DC - 11 February 2026
1. Pan, Attorney General Pam Bondi walks into hearing room
2. UPSOUND (English) Jarred Wise speaking, recorded on body camera on Jan. 6, 2021 and played during hearing:
"You guys are disgusting, man. You guys are disgusting. I'm former - I'm former law enforcement. You're disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. But you can't see it because you are chasing the pension, right?"
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Joe Neguse (D) Colorado:
"Attorney General Bondi, that man works for you now, right?"
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:
"Who was that, Congressman?"
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Joe Neguse (D) Colorado:
"The man in that video, the one who is in the police worn body cam footage, the one allegedly yelling 'kill him' at police officers on January 6th, his name is Jared Wise."
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:
"He does work for us."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Joe Neguse (D) Colorado:
"He works for you at the Department of Justice. (Bond: He does.) This is an individual whom a federal grand jury indicted for two felonies and four misdemeanors related to his participation in the attack on January 6th. One of those charges was forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, and interfering with police with the intent to commit another felony. This is who you choose, as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America, to hire at the Department of Justice - someone on video yelling, kill them at police officers? Right?"
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:
"I believe he was pardoned by President Trump."
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Joe Neguse (D) Colorado:
"Oh, he was pardoned. You're right. Pardoned by President Trump for his offense, pardoned for yelling kill him at police officers. And yet you expect hardworking police officers across the country to believe that you take law enforcement seriously."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Deborah Ross, (D) North Carolina:
"Attorney General Bondi, does a convicted sex offender like Ghislaine Maxwell deserve special treatment and privileges in prison? Yes or no?"
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:
"Let me be crystal clear on this, no. (Ross: Thank you. Perfect.) Let me keep going .... I did not know she was being transferred. And she was not ... "
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Deborah Ross, (D) North Carolina:
(Crosstalk) "And I'm glad that we're agreeing, so when we're agreeing, we can move on to some other things, but I want you to know that every time she does get these perks, and it's been publicly reported, that her ... the folks she's abused, the survivors who are sitting here, they see themselves as being denied justice. They feel re-traumatized, and I'm glad that we agree on that, but she should not be in that prison. And she needs to be moved back to a maximum security prison as soon as possible."
13. Wide, Ross speaking
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Deborah Ross, (D) North Carolina:
"It's just crazy to consider that she can be wielding this kind of influence within the administration. But that begs the question, who ordered her to be transferred to the minimum security prison that she was ineligible for? Who signed off on the special privileges? Was it Mr. (Todd) Blanche? Was it one of your other subordinates? So please, can you tell us who sent her there, since you don't agree she should be there?"
