Pam Bondi is caught ‘SPYING’ on lawmakers reviewing Epstein files
MAGA firebrand Nancy Mace claimed Thursday that the Justice Department was spying on lawmakers following the viral leak of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s memos.
Bondi was captured by eagle-eyed photographers with a binder full of notes during a contentious hearing in the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. It contained pages listing the search history of lawmakers who were allowed to review redacted files by the Justice Department.
“His folder was open, and in the software in the database, you saw a picture of a member of Congress’s search history,” Mace said at a news conference in his home state of South Carolina.
‘Why does the Justice Department – why does the Attorney General – carry around a file containing the investigative histories of members of Congress who just want the truth?’
Mace, who sits on the Republican-led House Oversight Committee, said Bondi should be brought to the deposition because “I have a lot of tough questions to ask her.”
The now-viral image of Bondi’s notes was tagged ‘Jayapal Pramila Search History,’ a reference to U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington State Democrat and member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Jayapal’s search history included some of the most shocking statements seen in publicly redacted versions of the Epstein emails.
The congressman also looked at e-mails containing the list of Epstein victims, as well as statements such as ‘I love the torture video’, ‘your youngest daughter was a little naughty’, ‘3 very nice young girls’.

Mace is a member of the Oversight Committee, which played a key role in investigating individuals named in the Epstein Files.
The DOJ released more than three million Epstein Files last month, but many documents were heavily redacted. Monday marked the first time members of Congress were able to view unredacted files on DOJ computers.
It is estimated that another three million files remain unreleased.
‘When he was asked a tough question, he told me how high the Dow was,’ Mace said disapprovingly, adding: ‘That’s embarrassing.’
Instead of answering the question before him, Bondi touted the Trump administration’s victories that had little to do with the work of the Justice Department.
‘They’re talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration… The Dow is now over 50,000… Americans’ 401(k)s and retirement savings are soaring. That’s what we need to talk about,” Bondi said.
The Dow comment, in particular, attracted attention well beyond political comment circles, sparking a lot of mockery online.
Despite the national ridicule, Bondi appears to have made at least one person happy: President Donald Trump.
“AG Pam Bondi, who has come under heavy fire from Trump’s Deranged Radical Left Crazies, was amazing at yesterday’s hearing on the never-ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump wrote in a post supporting Bondi on Truth Social on Thursday.
