Bondi told Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) she would not discuss conversations she had with Trump about Comey’s indictment.
Bondi and Trump met for dinner at the White House the night before the indictment. Bondi also redirected questions about the Epstein investigation into scrutiny toward Democrats.
Bondi asked Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) if he had questioned her predecessor, Merrick Garland, on Epstein. She also brought up Democratic ties to LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, an alleged Epstein associate. Between the lines: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also asked Bondi who ordered her to flag Epstein records related to President Trump.
“I’m not going to discuss anything about that with you, senator,” Bondi said. Durbin responded: “Eventually you’re going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won’t do it today, but eventually you will.”
The whole thing was so performative that I was seriously expecting her to yell “This whole court room is out of order!” to distract.
Like I’m surprised somebody didn’t just pull a fire alarm to get her out of there. Wtf
M’am this is a Senate hearing, not a community theater in Florida. You’re supposed to be providing testimony. Nobody wants to hear your dramatic monologue, just answer the questions.
