Senators demanded answers. Bondi refused to give them.

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.”

    I always thought that refusing to answer congress or senate’s questions in a hearing was a contempt charge…

      IIRC, a contempt charge has to be voted on (not happening) and if it passes it is then referred to the US attorney’s office for them to pursue. And since that office is currently held by a Fox News host whose only qualifications are loyalty to Trump and a total lack of ethics, that case wouldn’t go anywhere.

        Thanks, this comment is infinitely more helpful than the useless snot who replied in the other comment. I like people who help others a lot more than people who randomly hurt others over nothing more than their own insecurities.
