What happened during Pam Bondi's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee?
All hell just broke loose in the House Judiciary Committee where Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's stooge attorney general, just completed her testimony. It was utterly humiliating for her. Frankly, it was utterly humiliating for the United States. Let me show you what went down first. I'll show you as Democratic Congresswoman Ballant cross-examines Pam Bondi. Watch as Pam Bondi just flails and tries to attack Ballant. Let's play this clip. Beep. Who is Chris May? Was the president aware? Please stop talking. It is not your time to ask questions. It is not your time. I'm reclaiming my time, Mr. Chair. One second. Time belongs to the gentleman from Vermont.
How did Congresswoman Ballant challenge Pam Bondi during cross-examination?
Was the president aware of Secretary Lutnick's ties to Epstein when he chose him to lead the Department of Commerce? Was he aware? Chris Malen was a border patrol agent. Okay, so I'm going to conclude that the president, in fact, did know about his ties because he was the next door neighbor. Shame on you. For goodness sakes, this is pathetic.
This is pathetic, Mr. Chair. Committee will be in order.
I am not asking trick questions here. The American people have a right to know the answers to this. These are senior officials in the Trump administration. More from Congresswoman Ballant right here. Let's play it.
I know the answers to this. These are senior officials in the Trump administration. This is not a game, Secretary.
I'm Attorney General. My apologies, I couldn't tell. By 2008, we knew that Epstein was a convicted sexual abuser. And we now know that Lutnick went to Epstein's Island in 2012. How was that not a deal breaker for the president? And why aren't you asking questions of the Commerce Secretary about what he saw when he was at the island, which he lied about not ever going to.
What allegations were made about President Trump's knowledge of Epstein's ties?
Why are you not asking these questions? Next, you have Congresswoman Ross cross-examining Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi. And note that Pam Bondi claims that she didn't even know that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred from a facility in Tallahassee to club fed with VIP treatment in Camp Bryan, Texas. Sounds like perjury to me. Let's play this clip.
General Bondi, does a convicted sex offender like Elaine Maxwell deserve special treatment and privileges in prison? Yes or no?
Let me be crystal clear on this. No.
Thank you. Perfect. No, let me keep going. Perfect.
Well, I have a few more questions. I did not know she was being transferred.
I asked you yes or no. She was not transferred to a lower-
Mr. Chairman, please stop the clock and remind the witness of the rules.
One rule she needs to understand here. And I'm glad that we're agreeing. So when we're agreeing, we can move on to some other things. But I want you to know that every time she does get these perks, and it's been publicly reported, that the folks she's abused, the survivors who are sitting here, They see themselves as being denied justice. They feel re-traumatized. And I'm glad that we agree on that. But she should not be in that prison. And she needs to be moved back to a maximum security prison as soon as possible. But what she has told another committee here is that she won't cooperate with them unless she gets clemency from Donald Trump. It's just crazy to consider that she can be wielding this kind of influence within the administration.
But that begs the question, who ordered her to be transferred to the minimum security prison that she was ineligible for?
And we heard from Democratic Congress member Ted Lieu, who cross-examined Bondi, let's play it. Former Prince Andrew. Donald Trump attended various parties with Jeffrey Epstein. I wanna know were there any underage girls at that party or at any party that Trump attended with Jeffrey Epstein?
This is so ridiculous and that they are trying to deflect
from all the great things Donald Trump has done. There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that. This has been the most transparent presidency. He's the one that asked that those files be released.
I'm going to claim my time.
I got your answer.
You said there's no evidence.
