U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi defended in Congress the way the Department of Justice has handled the Jeffrey Epstein cases, describing him as a “monster” and stating that she hopes his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, “dies in prison.”
The four-hour session was marked by sharp clashes between Democrats and Republicans over document redactions and the public release of names. Some lawmakers called for greater transparency, while Bondi dismissed the criticism as “political theater.”
The handling of Epstein’s case continues to spark intense political debate in the United States, with calls for further investigations and additional clarifications from authorities.
