Attorney General Pam Bondi went toe-to-toe with lawmakers in a heated hearing on Wednesday as the country’s top lawyer appeared before the House Judiciary Committee for the first time since taking office.
Bondi fielded questions on issues ranging from pending investigations into adversaries of President Trump to immigration, but the most tense exchanges came amid questions about the Epstein files.

Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) quipped he would “like to see you flip to the Jared Moskowitz section of the binder. I’m interested to see what staff provided on the oppo on me.”
