Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, where lawmakers pressed her on her record regarding antisemitism. The hearing also touched upon her involvement in cases against Trump foes.

Bondi faced criticism from lawmakers for her past statements and actions, including a 2018 tweet that was widely criticized as anti-Semitic. She denied making any antisemitic comments during the hearing.

Lawmakers also questioned Bondi about her involvement in cases against Trump foes, including financier Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. The hearing centered on the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case.
