Pam Bondi just turned a congressional hearing into a full-blown political dumpster fire.
The attorney general went before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to explain the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, and instead of calm answers, the hearing turned into a chaotic free-for-all. Bondi dodged pointed questions, lobbed attacks at Democrats, pivoted to unrelated economic talking points, and repeatedly refused to address the concerns of survivors. Witnesses and lawmakers alike were left blinking in disbelief.
The fallout was immediate and brutal. Conservative media audiences revolted as networks cut away from her testimony, leaving viewers fuming over what many saw as theatrics instead of answers. The meltdown didn’t just fail to reassure Trump loyalists — it actively alienated them.
It wasn’t just outside observers. Even prominent MAGA figures — Kyle Rittenhouse, Erick Erickson, Tim Pool, and Nick Fuentes — all called for Bondi to resign or be impeached. Some even suggested replacement options.
Conservative commentators who usually defend Trump officials were left shaking their heads. One CNN host was reportedly at a loss for words, stunned by Bondi’s shouting and refusal to engage substantively. Her combative tone, paired with avoidance of tough questions, left allies and critics alike questioning her judgment.
During the hearing, Bondi repeatedly failed to explain why sensitive victim information ended up in the released files, offering no clear plan for accountability or reform. Conservatives and liberals alike saw this as a major failure of transparency and responsibility, prompting calls for her immediate resignation.
As the fallout spreads, both Democratic and conservative circles are watching closely. MAGA figures aren’t just complaining — they’re demanding action. And for Bondi, her political career may be on the line if she can’t regain control of the narrative.
