Shouting match erupts in Congress after Bondi asked to apologize to Epstein victims

On February 11, 2026, US Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to apologize to Epstein survivors during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, sparking a shouting match on Capitol Hill.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act forced the US Department of Justice to release all records within 30 days, but last month many victims remained identifiable despite redaction rules.
Pam Bondi pivoted to partisan attacks and personal remarks, insulting Rep. Jamie Raskin and touting the Dow Jones Industrial Average topping 50,000 during testimony.
Critics and pundits reacted strongly, with some Republican members, including Rep. Pat Fallon, defending Bondi while Democrats accused her and the DOJ of a cover-up.
With oversight intensifying, Congress noted the gap between six million subpoenaed documents and three million pages, as Bondi pledged to fix mistaken redactions and hours of testimony remain.
