US lawmakers spar with Pam Bondi over Epstein | ABS-CBN News

Описание: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday (Feb 11) attacked Democrats and praised President Donald Trump as she faced criticism from lawmakers over the Justice Department's handling of files involving the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a charged hearing before a House of Representatives panel.

Bondi had a series of heated confrontations with Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee as they expressed frustration with the amount of Epstein material the department has redacted and withheld despite a federal law requiring the release of nearly all files.

The Justice Department released what it called a final tranche of more than 3 million pages of documents late last month, drawing renewed attention to wealthy and powerful individuals who maintained ties with Epstein even after his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
"I have spent my entire career fighting for victims, and I will continue to do so," Bondi said in her opening statement.
