Pam Bondi explodes at Democrat grilling her over Epstein: ‘You washed up LOSER. You’re not even a lawyer’

Donald Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, refused to apologize to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and attacked Democrats for ‘theatrics’ during a congressional hearing on Wednesday.

Bondi was questioned by the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday after the Justice Department released millions of Epstein files, including documents redacted from the names of the pedophile’s accomplices and unredacted names of victims.

The AG clashed angrily with Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, who accused Bondi of committing fraud after Bondi rebutted lawmakers’ attacks with remarkable spacing, even citing the booming stock market.

“I told you this before you started talking, Attorney General,” Raskin said.

Bondi snarled: ‘You’re not telling me anything. You’re a loser, you’re not even a lawyer.’

Before being elected to Congress, Raskin was a professor at American University Washington School of Law.

The AG also lashed out after Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington invited him to apologize to Epstein’s victims and called on the women in the hearing room to stand and raise their hands.

“Will you now turn to the survivors and apologize for what the Department of Justice put them through with its completely unacceptable release of the Epstein Files?” [private] information?’ Jayapal asked.

Every Epstein victim present raised their hand to indicate that they had not met with Justice Department representatives regarding their cases

Bondi shouted angrily: “I’m not going to get in the same hole as him,” she said, addressing committee chairman Jim Jordan.

The attorney general instead attacked former Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland for not releasing the files.

Earlier, the committee’s senior member, Raskin, condemned the AG as the hearing began, saying: ‘This performance screams cover-up.’

‘As attorney general, you side with the perpetrators and ignore the victims who will leave your legacy unless you act quickly to change course. “You are running a massive Epstein cover-up operation from the Department of Justice,” Raskin said.

Bondi responded to Raskin’s attacks in her opening statement.

‘As attorney general, you side with the perpetrators and ignore the victims who will leave your legacy unless you act quickly to change course. “You are running a massive Epstein cover-up operation from the Department of Justice,” Raskin said.

“To handle the Epstein Files, more than 500 attorneys and reviewers spent thousands of hours painstakingly reviewing millions of pages to comply with the laws of Congress,” Bondi said.

“While we did our best within the time frame allocated by legislation to protect victims, we released more than 3 million pages to the public, including 180,000 images,” he continued.

Bondi added that ‘if you bring us the name of a victim that has been overly disclosed, we will correct it immediately.’

‘As you know, all members of Congress are invited to visit the Department of Justice to see for yourself,’ the attorney general said.

Bondi then continued to address the Epstein victims in the room.

“I want to take a moment to remember the Epstein survivors who are here today,” he said, adding that “the FBI is waiting to hear from the victims.”

Bondi also said, “I want you to know that any accusation of criminal misconduct will be taken seriously and investigated.” he said.

Bondi later boasted that the Trump administration’s victories 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.

Later, during a meeting with Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Bondi was asked to weigh in on the controversy surrounding former CNN host and current independent media figure Don Lemon, and Bondi stated that the Justice Department would “always protect our churches and religious freedom.”
