On October 7, 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Democratic senators questioned her on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, Department of Justice decisions, and the government shutdown’s impact on law enforcement.
Bondi denied the existence of an Epstein client list implicating President Trump, deflected queries about FBI reviews of records mentioning him, and accused Democrats of blocking prior Epstein document releases.
The hearing featured heated exchanges, including Bondi’s refusal to answer specific questions and personal rebukes toward senators like Richard Blumenthal and Dick Durbin.
