Oversight Committee

HOLY CRAP! James Comer said that Democrats didn't ask a SINGLE SUBSTANTIATIVE QUESTION to Pam Bondi or any of the DOJ officials who appeared for the briefing. "They did not ask any questions... does it LOOK like there's a cover up?" The political charade is crumbling and they can't slow it down.

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.

Ansari: I have a lot of questions for Todd Blanche about why Ghislaine Maxwell was moved. I also have many questions for the Attorney General about the ongoing cover-up. Why are 50% of the files still not released? Why did you redact certain names and not redact others?

Democrats STORMED OUT of a briefing with Attorney General Bondi after months of yelling at the sky that they want answers. It's clear that this was premeditated. They don't want answers—they want the cameras. We want truth and justice for the victims.

NEW: Rep. Tim Burchett calls Democrats’ walkout of the Epstein files briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche “staged.”

Here's what happened with Rep. Summer Lee and Chairman James Comer behind closed doors during the briefing with Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, I'm told: Lee: "Mr. Chairman, there are no cameras here. You don't have to perform. We were told this was a briefing." Comer: "It's a briefing!" Lee: "But she hasn't offered any information...This is a hearing. This is a hearing without the cameras. This is a hearing without C-SPAN. And it's a hearing without the public. So, what I'm asking is...." Comer: "You want me to scoot some chairs around and make a circle. Would that make it feel more like a briefing?" Lee: "I would like C-SPAN. I would like you to bring the transcribers. I would like you to go through with the decorum and with the rules...." Comer: "Are you trying to find information, or trying to embarrass the attorney general?" Lee: "Absolutely not. I think the attorney general is a woman who is completely able to defend herself, and I'm not attacking her. I'm questioning you. You run this place. What I'm asking you is....Will you commit to going as far as..." Comer: "I've already issued the subpoena..." Lee: "And this is not the deposition..." Comer: "You've wasted three minutes of everyone's time just kind of, bitching..." Lee: "Really? Wow! Bitching?"

House Oversight Dems just walked out of the Bondi briefing. Robert Garcia, ranking Dem, is furious and says Bondi refused to commit to following the subpoena that Comer issued. Says the briefing is being staged as a “fake hearing,” adds Bondi was not under oath

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 Blanche were answering substantive questions, and Attorney General Bondi stated she would follow the law regarding her subpoena. It’s clear Democrats don’t want answers or justice for survivors; they just want theatrics for their latest partisan stunt.
