New controversy in Washington — Bondi attacks senators instead of answering questions about investigation

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer senators’ questions about the Justice Department’s investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, alleged bribery at the border, and possible links to Donald Trump. Despite prior promises to release Epstein-related files, Bondi offered no updates during a tense Senate hearing on Tuesday.

Throughout the hearing, Bondi clashed with Democratic senators, accusing them of political bias and avoiding direct responses about ongoing probes. She dismissed questions about campaign donations tied to Epstein’s associates and declined to address new allegations describing Epstein as “the greatest blackmailer ever.”

According to Forbes, Bondi’s Justice Department has come under scrutiny for pursuing cases against Trump’s political rivals while deflecting inquiries about internal corruption. Her leadership has raised concerns over politicization of federal law enforcement and selective accountability within the DOJ.
