Attorney General Pam Bondi delivered a forceful rebuke of House Democrats during a heated Capitol Hill hearing, directly confronting Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) in an exchange that quickly went viral online.
Facing aggressive questioning from Democrat lawmakers aligned against President Donald Trump, Bondi pushed back sharply on efforts to revisit the Russia investigation and other high-profile probes tied to the president.
Bondi raged in response to a comment from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who appeared to talk down to the attorney general.:
“I TOLD YOU, attorney general-” Raskin started to say before he was cut off by Bondi.
“You don’t TELL ME ANYTHING!” Bondi raged.
“You washed up – you’re not even a lawyer!”
WATCH:
At one point, Bondi turned the focus squarely onto Democrats who supported Trump’s impeachment during the Russia probe.
“Have you APOLOGIZED to President Trump, ALL OF YOU, who participated in the [Russia Hoax] impeachment hearings?” Bondi demanded.
As interruptions continued from Democratic members, the attorney general refused to yield.
“I am NOT going to put up with it!” she shot back.

Bondi Rejects Epstein Pivot, Targets Obama-Era Origins
The confrontation intensified when Democrats attempted to shift questioning toward Jeffrey Epstein-related matters.
Bondi accused them of political grandstanding and emphasized that the underlying case long predates Trump’s current presidency.
“You talk about Epstein today, this has been around since the OBAMA ADMIN!” Bondi blasted.
“WE released 3 MILLION documents, and Donald Trump signed that law.”
Her remarks appeared directed particularly at Raskin and Nadler, both prominent Trump critics and central figures in earlier impeachment efforts.
Hearing Highlights Deep Partisan Divide
Republican lawmakers largely allowed Bondi to engage Democrats directly during the exchange, though several later praised her performance publicly.
Supporters described the confrontation as a long-overdue challenge to what they view as years of politically motivated investigations targeting President Trump.
Democrats and their allies, meanwhile, defended their oversight efforts and dismissed Bondi’s response as political theater, reinforcing the entrenched divide that continues to shape congressional battles over impeachment, the Russia Hoax, and renewed scrutiny surrounding Epstein-related disclosures.
The clash marked one of the most combative moments of the hearing and underscored that the political fight surrounding the Russia investigation and its aftermath remains unresolved.
