Pam Bondi Faces Conservative Backlash After Heated Congressional Hearing

Pam Bondi faced calls to resign amid criticism for document redactions and deflections during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Jeffrey Epstein files.

  • The House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday put Attorney General Pam Bondi on the defensive as she faced criticism for deflecting questions and endured clashes with lawmakers, prompting conservative commentators to call for her resignation.
  • After Congress voted last year to compel their release, the documents contain investigative emails, and members viewed unredacted files earlier this week.
  • During the hearing, Thomas Massie accused Bondi of being `red-handed` over edits that obscured Les Wexner's name, and she responded it was corrected `within 40 minutes`.
  • Conservative commentators including Erick Erickson and Carl Higbie urged Bondi should `resign or be fired`, as odds on a Bondi exit jumped after the hearing, despite no resignation signs.
  • President Donald Trump posted a Thursday defense of Bondi, backing her after the files named Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Howard Lutnick, and Navy Secretary John Phelan without charges, while every victim raised their hand and the files remain a political issue.
