"First, you showed a, I find it. (Nadler: How many have you indicted?) Excuse me, I'm gonna answer the question.(Nadler: Answer my question.) No, I'm going to answer the question the way I want to answer the question, your theatrics are ridiculous. (Crosstalk) Chairman Jordan, I am not going to get in the gutter with these people. But I am going to answer the question. (Crosstalk) I think it's very interesting."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Pam Bondi, Attorney General:
"You sit here and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it. I'm not going put up with it. You know, all they want to do, all ... the American people need to know this, they are talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration. This administration released over three million pages of documents, over three million, and Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents. He is the most transparent president in the nation's history. And none of them, none of the ask (former Attorney General) Merrick Garland over the last four years, one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic is that? You know why? Because Donald Trump, the Dow, the Dow right now is over. The Dow is over 50,000. I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear (Rep. Jamie) Raskin. The Dow, is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000 and the NASDAQ smashing records. Americans' 401(k)s and retirement savings are booming. That's what we should be talking about. We should be taking about making Americans safe. We should be talking about ... What does the Dow have to do with anything? That's what they just asked. Are you kidding?"
