Bondi Has Bonkers Yelling Meltdown as Dems Rip Her to Shreds

Attorney General Pam Bondi lashed out at Democrats after being accused of perjury in the Epstein case and repeatedly questioned about her handling of the affair.

In an unprecedented scene at the Capitol, Bondi, appointed by Donald Trump himself, spent the morning railing against members of Congress, accusing them of “Trump syndrome” and refusing to answer their questions, as Jeffrey Epstein’s victims looked on in astonishment.

At one point, when questioned by Jamie Raskin, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, she exclaimed, “The Dow Jones is over $50,000!”

“I don’t understand why you’re laughing. I’ve heard you’re an excellent investor, Mr. Raskin. The Dow Jones is over $50,000 right now, the S&P 500 is approaching $7,000, and the Nasdaq is hitting record highs.” “That’s what we should be talking about!”

This exchange was one of the most stinging rebukes Bondi faced during her first congressional hearing since her department released the latest batch of documents related to Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

While the attorney general began by expressing her “deepest regrets” for the victims’ suffering, the situation quickly soured when Democrats questioned her about Trump’s ties to the sex offender, her department’s inaction regarding prosecutions, and her personal handling of the cases.

Another surprising moment: Bondi again clashed with Raskin when he tried to force her to answer a question from Democrat Jerry Nadler about the number of accomplices, if any, under investigation.

The attorney general initially pointed angrily at Nadler, then tried to stall for time.

“You can let her stall as much as you want, but not in our presence,” Raskin interjected, addressing both the committee chairman, Jim Jordan, and Bondi. “I told you so, Madam Attorney General.”

Bondi retorted incredulously, “You tell me nothing, you incompetent lawyer!”

Later, she accused Raskin of “anti-Trump syndrome” after he questioned her about Trump’s attempt to obtain $10 billion in taxpayer money through a lawsuit against the IRS.

The situation descended into chaos, forcing Fox News, the pro-Trump network, to cut away from the live broadcast.

The hearing took an unexpected turn when Democratic Representative Ted Lieu played a video of Trump and Epstein partying together years earlier, when they were still part of the high society of Palm Beach and New York.

When asked about the possible presence of minors at these parties, Bondi paused, considering her answer.

“It’s ridiculous to try to cover up all of Donald Trump’s successes,” she said.

“There is no evidence that Donald Trump committed any crime. Everyone knows that. His presidency was the most transparent in history.”

Lew then presented the case of a witness who had informed the FBI of an unfounded allegation concerning a woman who claimed she had been raped by the president.

“I believe you lied under oath,” he said.

“Don’t you dare accuse me of a crime!” she retorted.

The hearing took place a few weeks after the Justice Department released more than 3.5 million new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.

But that represented only half of the six million documents reviewed by the Justice Department, reigniting concerns about a possible cover-up.

Trump, who has consistently claimed the documents were a hoax, initially appeared about 5,300 times in this heavily redacted version.

But after lawmakers were allowed to review the full, unredacted versions of the documents this week, his name appeared more than a million times, suggesting that the public still knows very little.

Before the hearing, survivors and families of Epstein’s victims spoke out in front of the Capitol, once again demanding transparency.

Among them was Skye Roberts, the brother of Virginia Giuffre, who claims she was recruited as a teenager by an Epstein associate after meeting her while she was working at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

Mr. Roberts sharply criticized the administration, calling its handling of the victims’ case a complete failure.

Ms. Bondi opened the hearing by reading a statement in which she apologized to the victims, telling them: “I am a seasoned prosecutor and, despite the presiding judge’s remarks, I have dedicated my career to defending victims and will continue to do so.”

Ms. Bondi continued: “I am deeply sorry for the suffering endured by each and every victim, especially because of the actions of this monster.”

But the situation quickly soured thereafter, as Ms. Bondi remained unmoved by criticism that she had not redacted information about the victims in the released documents.

Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington told Bondi, “This isn’t about your predecessors, it’s about your responsibility to the Justice Department and the harm done to the victims who support you and are waiting for an apology for your department’s actions.”

Bondi responded, “I won’t stoop to that level with this woman. She’s putting on an act.”
