Attorney General Pam Bondi sparred with members of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, defending the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files while pushing back on accusations from Democrats that the department has been weaponized for political ends.

At today’s Oversight Committee hearing, Pam Bondi did what embattled attorneys generally do when under siege. She went on offense. She snapped at Thomas Massie. She sparred with Pramila Jayapal. She insulted Jamie Raskin.

Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s search history of the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files and even President Donald Trump’s most powerful ally in Congress has a problem with it.

The attorney general spent the majority of the time trying to turn the page from persistent criticism of the Justice Department by aggressively pivoting.

Attorney General Pam Bondi got called out Wednesday for using a cheat sheet of personal attacks against Democratic lawmakers in order to dodge tough questions and—ironically—offered a pathetic comeback.

When Pam Bondi was sworn in as U.S. attorney general, she was considered by many to be the sensible choice. President Donald Trump’s initial pick, former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration amid allegations(that he denied) of using illegal drugs and having sex with a minor.

The dispute over the scope and transparency of the Epstein files has intensified after the DOJ’s letter on Saturday.
