At a marathon House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Jeffrey Epstein files, Rep. Becca Balint (D‑Vt.) erupted after Attorney General Pam Bondi challenged her record and invoked antisemitism, telling Balint she had voted against a resolution condemning antisemitism. Balint, whose grandfather died in the Holocaust, shouted “Are you serious?!” criticized Bondi’s line of attack as inappropriate, then rose and stormed out of the hearing. The confrontation occurred amid broader bipartisan clashes over the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein documents and Bondi’s combative testimony. Committee leaders attempted to restore order as the exchange drew national attention and video widely circulated online. (apnews.com)

At a February 11, 2026 House Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi was grilled over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, including problematic redactions that exposed victims while obscuring possible co‑conspirators. Lawmakers — Democrats and some Republicans — pressed whether any co‑conspirators have been investigated or charged; Bondi repeatedly dodged, refused a direct apology to survivors and deflected by touting stock‑market gains (“Dow over 50,000,” S&P near 7,000, Nasdaq records). Critics accused the DOJ of a cover‑up; Bondi said the department will review and correct redactions while sparring with members such as Raskin and Nadler on Wednesday. (theguardian.com)

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on February 11, 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and said, “there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.” Representative Ted Lieu played a Trump–Epstein video and cited a redacted FBI witness statement alleging an assault and uninvestigated leads. Lieu told Bondi, “I believe you just lied under oath,” played evidence he said contradicted her testimony, and called for her resignation. Bondi denied the accusation, sparred with lawmakers while survivors watched, and the exchange intensified outrage over redactions and alleged DOJ failures. (theguardian.com)
