"I Was Just So Disgusted": Jewish Rep. Balint Walks Out of Hearing After Bondi Calls Her Antisemitic
As we continue to look at Wednesday's contentious hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, we speak with Vermont Congressmember Becca Balint, who walked out after Attorney General Pam Bondi accused her of supporting antisemitism. Balint, who is Jewish and whose grandfather died in the Holocaust, had just asked Bondi to meet with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein — a demand that Bondi repeatedly ignored during the hearing.

"It was just heartbreaking to watch the attorney general act in this way, especially when survivors have waited, over the course of decades, for justice," Balint tells Democracy Now!

"Massive Cover-Up": Rep. Jayapal Slams AG Pam Bondi over Epstein Files & Spying on Lawmakers
Attorney General Pam Bondi testified Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee, where she repeatedly refused to answer questions about her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. She also refused to apologize to Epstein survivors over the botched release of files, some of which contained survivors' personal information and even uncensored nude photographs. During the hearing, Bondi was photographed consulting a binder that appeared to show the search history of lawmakers who visited the Justice Department to examine the unredacted Epstein files in person.

"Essentially, they were spying on us," says Democratic Congressmember Pramila Jayapal. "It's certainly not going to stop me from continuing to review the files, but it is absolutely outrageous."

Jayapal also condemns the Justice Department for refusing to open new investigations into Epstein's associates listed in the files. "These were rich, powerful, wealthy people, mostly men, who groomed, raped, abused, manipulated young girls," she says.
