Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday went off on House Judiciary Committee Democrats, calling Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) a “washed-up loser lawyer” when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pressed her on the Epstein files and crimes by Epstein affiliates.
After a nearly four-minute-long tirade about Trump weaponizing the Department of Justice, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, former FBI Director James Comey and other Democrat criminals, with”politically motivated investigations,” Nadler took aim at Bondi for the zero prosecutions of Epstein affiliates and coconspirators since taking office last year.
Bondi noted that he asked a “four-minute question,” and “I’m going to answer the question the way I want to answer the question.”
Nadler and the other Democrats did not allow Bondi to respond to Nadler’s attack on President Trump after Nadler asked, “How many of Epstein’s coconspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?” Eventually, Democratic Ranking Member Jamie Raskin chimed in, stating, “You can let her filibuster all day long, but not on our watch.” He continued, “And I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started.”
Then, Bondi went off, shouting back at him, “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer! You’re not even a lawyer.”
Eventually, Bondi responded to Nadler’s hostile line of questioning, slamming the Democrats for attempting to impeach President Trump twice, and highlighting Trump’s accomplishments, namely the stock market highs, which prompted more screaming and laughing from the Democrats.
“What does the Dow have to do with anything? That’s what they just asked? Are you kidding?” Bondi responded. “The Dow has shattered 50,000 for the first time. This is crazy. They said it couldn’t be done in four years, yet, President Trump has done it in one year.”
She further highlighted Trump’s success on crime and the border, concluding, “That’s what we should be focused on, all the great work that this President has done and will continue to do to keep America safe and to make Americans safe.”

Transcript below:
Nadler: We now have concrete evidence of disgusting criminality revealed in the Epstein files. So, I have just— so I really have just one question for you, how many of Epstein’s coconspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?
Bondi: First, you showed a, I find it—
Nadler: How many have you indicted?
Bondi: Excuse me! I’m going to answer the question.
Nadler: Answer my question.
Bondi: No! I’m going to answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous… Chairman, Jordan, I’m not going to get in the gutter with these people, but I’m going to answer the question.
Nadler: How many have you indicted?
Bondi: I think it’s very interesting that he talks about they indicted— the President said they indicted him twice! They sure did… They don’t like the answer, Chairman, because it’s honest. He asked a four-minute question, and I am going to answer.
Raskin: You can let her filibuster all day long, but not on our watch. Not on our time, no way. And I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started.
Bondi: You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer! You’re not even a lawyer.
Nadler: Reclaiming my time. The answer to my question, how many of Epstein’s coconspirators has she indicted, is zero. You have been the attorney general for a whole year, and your DOJ fired the lead prosecutor of this case, sat on evidence this entire time and claimed, falsely, last July that there were no more leads. It took an act of Congress for you to finally release part of the Epstein files, and when you did, you included personal information about the victims while protecting the names of abusers. None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice… and it’s clear that under your leadership, the Department of Justice no longer works for the American people; it works for Donald Trump.
Bondi: First, he brought up the President, saying, “They indicted me twice.” They sure did. They tried to impeach him twice, and you, Mr. Nadler, were one of the leads on the impeachment. I was on the other side. I lived that with you. During impeachment, you said the President conspired, sought foreign interference in the 2016 election. Robert Mueller found no evidence, none, of foreign interference in 2016. Have you apologized to President Trump? Have you apologized to President Trump, all of you who participated in those impeachment hearings against Donald Trump? You all should be apologizing! You sit here and you attack the President, and I am not going to have it. I’m not going to put up with it. You know, all they want to do, all the— the American people need to know this: They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration.
This Administration released over 3 million pages of documents, over 3 million, and Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents. He is the most transparent president in the nation’s history, and none of them, none of them, asked Merrick Garland over the last four years one word about Jeffrey Epstein, how ironic is that? You know why? Because Donald Trump, the Dow, the Dow right now is over— the Dow is over 50,000! I don’t know why you’re laughing. You’re a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now, the S&P at almost 7000, and the Nasdaq smashing records! Americans’ 401Ks and retirement savings are booming. That’s what we should be talking about. We should be talking about making Americans safe. We should be talking about— what does the Dow have to do with anything? That’s what they just asked? Are you kidding?
The Dow has shattered 50,000 for the first time. This is crazy. They said it couldn’t be done in four years, yet, President Trump has done it in one year. National median rents have fallen to a four year low thanks to Donald Trump. That’s why they want to focus on Epstein and our most transparent President in the nation’s history. The murder rate, as I said, has plummeted to a 125-year low, thanks to Donald Trump. For an unprecedented, unprecedented, nine straight months there were zero illegal border crossings at the southern border. That’s what we should be focused on all the great work that this President has done and will continue to do to keep America safe and to make Americans safe.
