Pam Bondi Faces Firestorm Over Epstein Files and Alleged DOJ 'Spying' on Congress

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi came under intense bipartisan scrutiny during a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing focused on the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Lawmakers accused Bondi of showing contempt for Congress, stonewalling questions, and failing to show empathy toward Epstein survivors, some of whom were present and felt ignored. The controversy deepened when Bondi appeared to have access to Democratic lawmakers' search histories related to the Epstein files, sparking accusations of DOJ 'spying' on Congress. The hearing devolved into shouting matches, with both Democrats and some Republicans calling for Bondi's resignation or firing.

The episode has raised serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the treatment of Epstein's victims by the Justice Department.

i think it all needs released. all victims need their justice and all co conspiritors, offenders ans anybody who did anything illegal should be facing prison time and take accountability.

 @BB578GC from Arizona  commented…4mos4MO

if you support trump, or Epstine, your brain washed, how would the files be fake. there are real life victims and she didn't even bother to look at them. its crazy to me that a women can support a men that wants to take away her rights. shes allowed to work, drive, attend gov. meetings, and was able to go to school. thats becasue women fought for equal righs, and she wants to support someone who has raped, and SA's people in the past becasue she wants some sort of validation. its sick. shes a sick women. i support peoples belifes but its kinda sad that her guilty self cant even look at the real life victims.

Release the Epstein files, stop protecting pedophiles

 @BB5F4GD from Idaho  commented…4mos4MO

If all people involved are prosecuted it would collapse our system. So tear it down. Cannibal pedophiles have no place as a ruling class.

 @BB55CRW from Ohio  commented…4mos4MO

I don't really care about all of that as long as it isn't going on anymore. The people on that island were bad though but I think the whole government and mossad were in on it.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
