Congress member Stansberry

Now, I also want to point out that there is not a single Republican in the room besides the chairman.

For a supposed group of individuals who care deeply about justice for the survivors, not a single Republican could be bothered to travel across the country today to come hear testimony from the former Attorney General, not one.

They're not here and they won't allow this interview to be put on video for the American people to see.

And that means that only those of us who are allowed in the room can tell you what is actually happening.

And what I can tell you is that when we started to ask difficult question, Miss Bondi got combative.

the DOJ attorneys began rolling their eyes.

They started intervening and they tried to shut down any questions about the president and these administration's handling of the files.

If Pam Bondi was complying with a congressional deposition to testify under oath, Department of Justice attorneys would not be intervening and essentially trying to stop her from answering basic questions about her conversations with Donald Trump, with the administration, and trying to claim that she does not have to answer questions.

In fact, as the ranking member said, she has been asked multiple times about the Trump administration, about her conversations with the president, about her conversations with other administration officials.

And when asked specifically about a conversation with Donald Trump, one of the Department of Justice attorneys intervened and said that she did not have to answer the question because it was a voluntary interview.

and said in fact, quote, we don't even have to assert privilege because of that, and said, quote, we refuse to provide answers.

That means that the United States Department of Justice is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to stop her from answering questions about

what happened in the cover up of this case and her conversations with Donald Trump and is asserting that she does not have to answer questions because she is not required to because she is not being deposed under oath.

This is a cover up.

This will be remembered as the largest cover up likely in American history.

And it is clear that this interview is a smokescreen to try to show the American people that they are complying while they are not.
