Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Both Democrats and Republicans have called out the Department of Justice for tracking their searches in the Jeffrey Epstein files database.
A day after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, members of the U.S. House said the department has been tracking their searches in its files related to the investigation into Epstein and his co-conspirators.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., described what searching the Epstein files is like under the watch of the Justice Department. Mace said a "tech person" logs congresspeople into a computer where all of the documents they open are tracked.
During Wednesday's hearing, Bondi could be seen with a sheet of paper that had a header reading "Jayapal Pramila Search History." Jayapal confirmed that the searches listed on that paper were searches she performed in the Epstein files database.
