Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday responded to House Democrats’ heated questions about the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files by chastising them for ignoring stock market gains and other of President Donald Trump’s political wins.
“The Dow is over 50,000 right now,” Bondi said in sworn testimony before the House Judiciary Committee after Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., slammed her and the Department of Justice for so far failing to indict any of convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.
The S&P 500 is also up and the Nasdaq is “smashing records,” while Americans’ retirement accounts are “booming,” Bondi said after celebrating the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s gains. “That’s what we should be talking about.”
Democrats balked at the rhetoric, but Bondi doubled down.
“What does the Dow have to do with anything? That’s what they just asked. Are you kidding?” she said as Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, banged a gavel and called for order in the hearing room.
