BONDI ERUPTS: Washed-Up Loser Lawyer DESTROYED

Attorney General Pam Bondi erupted at House Democrats during a fiery hearing, calling Ranking Member Jamie Raskin a “washed-up loser lawyer” while refusing to apologize to Epstein survivors, exposing the theatrical hypocrisy of lawmakers who ignored these crimes for decades under Obama and Biden.

Congressional Hearing Erupts in Shouting Match

The House Judiciary Committee hearing on February 11, 2026, descended into unprecedented chaos as Attorney General Pam Bondi faced aggressive questioning from Democrats over the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. The Republican-led committee witnessed extraordinary personal attacks, with Bondi directly insulting Ranking Member Jamie Raskin as a “washed-up loser lawyer” after he accused her of filibustering and demanded extra time for questioning. Rep. Jim Jordan praised Bondi’s efforts to end the weaponization of justice that characterized the Biden administration, while Democrats like Raskin accused the Trump DOJ of orchestrating an “Epstein cover-up” despite survivors present in the hearing room.

Democrats Demand Apologies While Ignoring Past Inaction

Rep. Pramila Jayapal demanded Bondi apologize to Epstein survivors for delays and redactions in file releases, but the Attorney General refused, calling the performance “gutter theatrics.” Bondi expressed being “deeply sorry” for victims as a career prosecutor but pointed out the glaring hypocrisy: Democrats never raised these same concerns with Attorney General Merrick Garland during the Obama-Biden years when partial files were released with heavy redactions and zero action on co-conspirators. Rep. Jerry Nadler pressed Bondi on why no indictments have been filed against Epstein’s accomplices after one year, though he was interrupted multiple times. The exchange revealed Democrats’ selective outrage, demanding accountability now while remaining silent when their own party controlled the DOJ.

Nadler Mocked for Dozing During Survivor Testimony

Adding insult to injury for the Democratic performance, 78-year-old Rep. Jerry Nadler was caught on camera appearing to doze off during opening statements while Epstein survivors sat in the audience wearing white outfits in solidarity. Gun rights activist Andrew Pollack and others mocked Nadler’s apparent disregard for the very victims Democrats claimed to champion. The viral moment underscored the theatrical nature of the hearing, where Democrats postured about justice while literally sleeping through testimony. This follows a pattern of Nadler clashes with Trump administration officials, but the optics of sleeping during a hearing about sex trafficking survivors expose the performative nature of Democratic grandstanding on sensitive issues.

DOJ Defends Transparency Efforts Amid Partisan Attacks

The Trump Justice Department has released millions of pages of Epstein-related documents in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, far exceeding the limited disclosures under the Biden administration. While Democrats criticized delays and redactions, Bondi defended the careful balance between transparency and protecting victim identities from public exposure. The hearing highlighted fundamental differences in approach: Republicans seek to end the politicization of the DOJ that characterized Biden-era “lawfare” against political opponents, while Democrats demand immediate action on cases they ignored for years. With Ghislaine Maxwell scheduled for a House Oversight deposition and continued pressure on the DOJ, the partisan divide over Epstein accountability remains stark. The chaos demonstrates how Democrats weaponize legitimate victim concerns for political theater while offering no credible solutions.
