Pam Bondi Faces Questions at House Judiciary Hearing on Epstein Files

Pam Bondi faced questions from House Judiciary Committee members about the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files and defended the department during heated exchanges. Left-leaning outlets stress criticism of Bondi’s handling of the files and, in some coverage, concern that lawmakers’ searches were used against them. Center outlets focus on specific exchanges and lawmakers’ allegations about redactions and disclosures, with several articles sharply critical of Bondi. Right-leaning outlets present the hearing as disorderly clashes with Democrats, with some casting their questioning as partisan and praising Bondi’s responses.
