Pam Bondi hearing live updates: Attorney General  told to ‘resign now’ by lawmaker

California Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove says Bondi and Trump have “zero credibility” following “disappointing” answer from attorney general.

Kamlager-Dove asked Bondi if she thought President Trump undermined public trust in law enforcement by suggesting that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was involved in the murder of former Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman.

“I’m not familiar with that statement,” Bondi replied.

“Well, that is a disappointing response,” Kamlager-Dove began.

She then added, “And it is also why your office and Donald Trump have zero credibility. Becuase i know, and you know it was a right-wing extremist who murdered the Hortmans.”

Rep. Dan Goldman asked Bondi if she would agree to share an unredacted version of an Epstein email “so that the American people can understand the extent of Donald Trump’s lies about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.”

Bondi claimed it was privileged, to which Goldman replied, “Quiet.”

“Don’t yell at me!” Bondi fired back.

Bondi later said the DOJ would review the email and if it is not privileged, it would be released.

When questioned about what’s happening in Minnesota by Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Republican from Wisconsin, Bondi said she thinks law enforcement in the state “wishes” they could work with ICE.

“I did spend four days in Minnesota and I believe many of the local law enforcement wish they could work with us to make their city safe,” Bondi said.

Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz says President Donald Trump was named more times in the Epstein files than God is mentioned in the Bible.

“Kash Patel, under oath, said Trump’s name appears 100 times in the files. We now know that’s not true,” Moskowitz said.

“Trump’s name appears more times in the Epstein files than God’s name appears in the book about God,” he said, quickly adding, “By the way, this is the Trump Bible.”

Moskowitz also noted that Trump’s name appears more often in the Epstein files than Harry Potter’s name appeared in all seven books in the series.

Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican from Texas, asked Bondi if anyone aside from Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein will be indicted and prosecuted, given the information revealed in the files.

Bondi used her response to slam Democrats, claiming, “They never wanted to hear the answer to that,” but declined to give a definite answer.

“We have pending investigations in our office,” she said.

Illinois Rep. Jesus Garcia urged Bondi to “resign now and submit yourself to accountability by the American people.”

Garcia called Bondi “weak and ineffective” before urging Bondi to resign.

Illinois Rep. Jesus Garcia accused Bondi of “hiding” from the House Judiciary Committee, before slamming her as one of the “worst attorney generals in our history.”

“I understand why you are hiding from us. You are one of the worst attorney generals in our history, and an instrument of Donald Trump’s lawless authoritarian agenda,” Garcia began.

“I’m glad the American people are seeing who you are, how you act, and the lack of good values,” he added.

Attorney General Pam Bondi used a question from Republican Rep. Russell Fry about sanctuary cities as an opportunity to slam Democrats for questioning her about the Epstein files.

“So many criminals are running to sanctuary jurisdictions. Many of your colleagues across the aisle, who we’ve seen speaking today about Epstein, don’t want to talk about the illegal criminals in their own jurisdiction,” Bondi said.

“We need to do everything we can to work together to make America safer, and they’re not doing that. They’re deflecting,” she added.

Fry noted that this “is not a partisan issue”

“People want to feel safe in their communities,” he responded.

Vermont Rep. Becca Balint acknowledged Epstein’s survivors while questioning Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“I want to remind everybody, this isn’t a game. These are real people who have suffered and are sitting here with us today. They deserve answers, and they deserve accountability,” Balint said.

Bondi then refused to answer when asked if the DOJ had looked into various Trump officials with ties to Epstein.

“I think Americans would be shocked to learn that you are not interested in talking with these officials who have ties to Jeffrey Epstein,” Balint said.
