Pam Bondi's savage response over Jeffrey Epstein when asked if Trump is in pics with half-naked women

US Attorney General Pam Bondi faced a brutal grilling from the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday over growing questions about political influence over the Justice Department. This was her first hearing since taking office. Bondi dodged questions about whether the FBI found photos of the US president with half-naked young women while searching Jeffrey Epstein's home.

Attorney-General Pam Bondi was testifying before the Senate when she was asked about the pictures by Democratic politician Sheldon Whitehouse. "There's been public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of President Trump with half-naked young women," Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said.

Whitehouse questioned Bondi about disgraced sex offender and business mogul Jeffrey Epstein allegedly showing 'people photos of President Trump with half-naked young women.' Whitehouse reminded Bondi that she when she came to office that there were hundreds of 'suspicious activity reports' that she had promised to investigate.

Pam Bondi's fiery comeback

Pam Bondi got into a fiery exchange over the "Epstein Files" with a senator during a congressional hearing. Bondi replied: "Senator...you’re the one who was taking money from one of Epstein’s closest confidants—I believe, I could be wrong, correct me—Reid Hoffman, who was with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions... Yet you’re grilling me on President Trump and some photograph with Epstein?"

Pam Bondi's reply comes when the US entered its seventh of partial government shutdown where Senate Democrats and Republicans seem to be at an impasse over a funding bill. Bondi faced questions about allegations that she weaponized the Justice Department against Trump’s perceived enemies, as well as mass layoffs across the DoJ and the Epstein files.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi on why the Justice Department has not looked into "hundreds' of suspicious activity reports" about Jeffrey Epstein's finances. "Some people would deduce from the fact that they are called suspicious activity reports, that there might be suspicious activity, and yet you seem to have looked at zero of those suspicious activity reports involving Jeffrey Epstein accounts," Whitehouse said.

Trying to slander Trump

The Senator mentioned "public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of President Trump with half-naked young women." "Do you know if the FBI found those photographs in their search of Jeffrey Epstein's safe or premises or otherwise? Have you seen any such thing?"

Bondi hit back, "You know, Senator Whitehouse? You sit here and make salacious remarks, once again, trying to slander President Trump, left and right, when you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants."

"I could be wrong, correct me, Reid Hoffman, who was with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions, and the senator sitting right next to you tried to block the flight logs from being released, yet you're grilling me on President Trump and some photograph with Epstein?

Hoffman has admitted travelling to Epstein's notorious island but has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Epstein died in a New York prison cell in 2019 after he was arrested and charged with child sex trafficking. The wealthy financier and high-flyer faced myriad accusations of sex abuse against underage girls.

The attorney general also defended the Trump administration's moves to fight crime and enforce immigration laws. Early in the hearing, she sparred with Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the committee, over the administration sending National Guard troops to Chicago, telling him, "If you're not going to protect your citizens, President Trump will.
