Описание: WATCH: US Attorney General Pam Bondi Testifies Before House Judiciary Committee on Epstein Files | CNBC TV18
Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., asked Bondi if the Justice Department has questioned Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about ties to Epstein.
Balint said Lutnick's name and other members of the Trump administration appear in the Epstein files.
"These men were appointed by President Trump to senior positions in his administration. All of them have clear and confirmed ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney General Bondi, yes or no, has the Justice Department asked Secretary Lutnick about his ties to Epstein?" Balint asked.
Bondi said, "Secretary Lutnick has addressed those ties himself," referring to testimony he provided Congress yesterday.
"I think Americans would be shocked to learn that you are not interested in talking with these officials who have ties to Jeffrey Epstein," Balint said after she and Bondi yelled over each other.
"Was the president aware of Secretary Lutnick's ties to Epstein when he chose him to lead the Department of Commerce?" said Balint, who also asked about other members of the administration. "I'm not asking trick questions here. The American people have a right to know the answers to this. These are senior officials and the Trump administration. This is not a game, secretary."
"I'm attorney general," Bondi said. Balint replied, "My apologies. I couldn't tell."
WASHINGTON DC - U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on oversight of the Justice Department.
Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, where she’s likely to face questions about the Epstein Files, the Minnesota immigration crackdown and the attempt to prosecute several of President Trump’s perceived political enemies.
The DOJ oversees enforcing federal laws, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, and upholding the rule of law. The DOJ programs include prosecuting criminal cases, protecting civil rights, combating cyber threats, and strengthening national security. U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, expressed satisfaction with the DOJ’s accomplishments.
“I think the big contrast is, you know, here you got a Justice Department that’s actually focused on getting the bad guys,” Jordan said. “Murders are down, robberies are down, carjackings are down, all because of the Justice Department. And President Trump's Justice Department focused on the things I think the American people expect the FBI and the Department of Justice to focus on, versus what happened in the previous administration.”
The House Judiciary will hear from U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi regarding her leadership of the DOJ. Many senators have expressed intent to question Bondi regarding her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi asking 15 questions ahead of her scheduled testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week.
The push from survivors came as congressional scrutiny intensified over the Department of Justice's (DOJ) handling of millions of pages of Epstein-related records on Tuesday, with Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, mentioning six people whose names were previously redacted.
