Among the feistiest and most bitter exchanges during Attorney General Pam Bandi's congressional hearing on Wednesday came with Rep. Becca Balint, a Vermont Democrat who tried to ask Bondi whether the Justice Department had questioned different Trump administration officials about their ties to Epstein. Bondi declined to answer directly, instead saying that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had already answered questions on the issue. As Balint tried to press further, Bondi responded "Shame on you." That touched off a furious response from a frustrated Balint, who said: "This is pathetic. I am not asking trick questions. The American people deserve to know. These are senior Trump officials." The situation became even more tense when Bondi referenced "anti Semitic culture" and a resolution that she said Balint voted against.
