​"Epstein Files Chaos: Pam Bondi’s Defiant Stand Sparks Outrage in Congress!"

 Heated Congressional Hearing: Pam Bondi appeared before the US House Judiciary Committee on February 11, 2026, in a lengthy and heated hearing. She was questioned about the Department of Justice (DOJ)'s release of the controversial Jeffrey Epstein files.

Leakage allegations: Democratic lawmakers have alleged that the Justice Department did not properly 'redact' (hide) the names of victims and sensitive information when releasing the files, which has resulted in the personal information of many victims becoming public. The hearing was a heated argument between Republicans and Democrats. Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin alleged that the Trump administration was trying to hide or 'cover-up' the truth through the files. Bondi has denied the allegations. She said the Justice Department did the best it could and that any information that was accidentally released was quickly corrected. She has also refused to apologize.

 The most talked-about moment of the hearing was when Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal asked Pam Bondi to look back at the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein sitting in the back and apologize. She refused to look back at them or apologize directly. She called it "theatrics" by Democrats. Although she generally said in her opening remarks that she was sorry for the victims. Opposition Democrats have accused Pam Bondi of redacting parts of the Epstein files that protect influential people.

During the hearing, Reuters cameras showed Pam Bondi holding a document titled "Jayapal Pramila Search History". It revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is secretly monitoring which lawmakers are searching for which parts of the Epstein files.

 Jamie Raskin denounced it as a "gross abuse of power" and demanded an investigation.

The hearing was heated and included direct shouting matches between Pam Bondi and Democrats. Bondi claimed she was being transparent, while opponents claimed she was covering up information to protect Trump and his cronies and treating victims cruelly.
