What was the purpose of Pam Bondi's sham hearing?
Democrats just stormed out of a sham briefing that Attorney General Pam Bondi decided that she was going to hold with 24 hours notice regarding the Epstein files. She apparently tried to hold this sham hearing and gave only 24 hours notice to try to get out of her deposition, which is supposed to take place on April 14th. She's been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and she's supposed to appear in public in the next few weeks. So she and the MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump tried to coordinate this sham. They said about 24 hours ago that she wanted to talk about the Epstein files Democrats were very suspicious. What are you going to try to talk about in giving us only 24 hours notice? We have you under subpoena.
Is this a way you're going to try to get out of the subpoena? And it became very clear to the Democrats as soon as this sham briefing started that that's what Bondi was going to do. It seemed that she and James Comer. had scripted this whole thing with Donald Trump as they were going to be like, look, I guess she told you everything. Now, this also comes at the same time where a smoking gun document was just revealed on the House floor by Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman, who's been all over the Epstein file investigation by the Democrats.
How did Democrats react to the 24-hour notice for the hearing?
And he exposed this email that was previously redacted by Trump's DOJ. It's obvious this was serious obstruction of justice. This was criminal. It appeared what's been going down here, obviously. And what the DOJ redacted were notes. That were sent by Donald Trump's lawyers. Back in 2009. To lawyers for victims and survivors. And the lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein. And Ghislaine Maxwell. Because on October 14, 2009. Based on this document. That has just been updated. unredacted. It's already been, you know, unredacted, but it was redacted in the documents that were produced publicly. But Congress member Goldman made this public. It's obvious that Donald Trump and Epstein's connections on these documents far more extensive than Donald Trump or the DOJ ever want to say.
I'm going to go over what was in this document in just a moment, but let's just bring this all together. So sham briefing, Called by Pam Bondi, she says House Oversight Committee show up. Now, this follows the House Oversight Committee sending a letter to Bondi saying that she's subpoenaed to show up April 14th. Remember yesterday, I was like, that's kind of surprising. MAGA Republican James Comer was sending a strongly worded letter to Pam Bondi saying she needs to show up April 14th. That's odd because we know what Trump sycophant James Comer's. But this was all part of their plan because then she said, all right, I'm going to do this briefing. I'm going to show up on the House. And she was going to try to use this in order to not show up for her deposition.
But Democrats saw that coming. Then Democrats just stormed out when they were like, seriously, this is all part of a cover up. We're not going to even being in this room makes you a co-conspirator to crimes because this is part of a cover up of a child sex trafficking ring. Democratic Congress member Robert Garcia posted the following moments ago. Oversight Democrats just walked out of an outrageous fake hearing where Pam Bondi refused to say she would show up for her under oath deposition. We asked her multiple times and she refused to commit. We won't participate in a fake hearing that's not under oath and not transcribed. The American people deserve transparency and the truth. We are going to end this White House cover-up, to which the GOP members of the House Oversight Committee put out this message.
This was clearly the Democrats' plan all along, to walk out of the briefing the DOJ offered to provide. Both Attorney General Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch were answering substantive questions, and Attorney General Bondi stated that she would follow the law regarding regarding her subpoena. It's clear Democrats don't want answers or justice for survivors. They just want theatrics for their latest partisan stunt, to which the House Democrats in the Oversight Committee said, actually, the Attorney General would not commit to following the subpoena that Chairman James Comer sent her two days ago to testify in front of our committee.
