US Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the justice department's handling of the Epstein files and faced a barrage of angry questions on other issues during a fiery congressional hearing on Wednesday.
Her testimony before the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee descended at times into a shouting match, with Bondi at one point calling a Democrat a "washed up loser" and, after another heated exchange, one lawmaker even stormed out.
Here are some of the key exchanges from the four-hour hearing.
The hearing followed the release by the justice department earlier this year of millions more files from its investigations into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Several of Epstein's victims were at the hearing, and lawmakers as well as Bondi frequently referenced them.
