Pam Bondi on Jeffrey Epstein 3M pages release, How ironic is that? slams Zoe Lofgren & Jerry Nadler.

Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee in a contentious oversight hearing on the DOJ’s release of 3 million pages of Epstein files. Bondi dismantled Democratic criticism by pointing out that none of them asked Merrick Garland about Jeffrey Epstein during the prior four years despite the Epstein matter being known since the Obama administration. Bondi called Trump “the most transparent president in the nation’s history” for signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Bondi pivoted to Trump’s economic accomplishments — Dow over 50,000 for the first time, S&P near 7,000, NASDAQ smashing records, 401(k)s booming, national rents at four-year low, murder rate at 125-year low, and nine straight months of zero illegal border crossings. Bondi attacked Rep. Zoe Lofgren for taking money from Reid Hoffman while posting nothing about Epstein on her Twitter account during the Biden years. Bondi skewered Rep. Jerry Nadler for his role leading the Russian collusion impeachment, noting Robert Mueller found no evidence of 2016 foreign interference, and demanded Nadler and his impeachment colleagues apologize. Chairman Jim Jordan repeatedly called for order as Democratic interruptions disrupted Bondi’s testimony. Bondi: “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?“

3 Million Pages Released

Bondi opened with the scale of the Epstein release.

“American people need to know this. They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around since the Obama administration.”

The Epstein case history:

Epstein plea deal 2008 (George W. Bush administration)
Epstein second investigation during Obama administration
Epstein arrest under Trump first term (July 2019)
Epstein death in federal custody August 2019
Maxwell conviction 2021 (Biden administration)
Multiple congressional inquiries throughout

“This administration released over 3 million pages of documents, over 3 million, and Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents.”

The scale — 3 million pages. Multiple terabytes of documents. Interview notes, emails, flight logs, financial records, photographs, victim statements.

“He is the most transparent president in the nation’s history.”

Bondi’s framework — Trump’s transparency is unprecedented. The Epstein Files Transparency Act (signed November 2025) compelled release.

Democratic Silence

“And none of them, none of them, asked Merrick Garland over the last four years one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic is that?”

The devastating point. House Judiciary Democrats now suddenly interested in Epstein did not ask previous Attorney General Merrick Garland anything about Epstein during the Biden years.

The implication — Democratic Epstein interest is political, not principled. If they genuinely cared, they would have asked the previous administration.

Economic Pivot

Bondi moved to Trump’s record. “You know why? Because Donald Trump, the Dow is over 50,000 dollars.”

The Dow Jones crossing 50,000 — a historic milestone. Previous records:

10,000 (1999)
20,000 (2017)
30,000 (2020)
40,000 (2024)
50,000 (2026)

The compounding growth under Trump’s first and second terms visible in the index milestones.

“I don’t know why you’re laughing. You’re a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin.”

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) apparently laughed. Bondi’s response — sarcastic reference to Raskin’s own trading activity, framed as expertise.

The irony — Democrats attacking Pelosi-style insider trading while some Democrats engage in similar activity.

Record Markets

“The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000. And the NASDAQ smashing records.”

Three-index summary:

Dow: 50,000+
S&P 500: ~7,000
NASDAQ: record highs

“Americans 401Ks and retirement savings are booming.”

The flow-through — stock market records translate to retirement account growth. Working Americans’ savings directly benefited.

“That’s what we should be talking about. We should be talking about making Americans safe.”

Bondi’s framework — Democrats redirecting from genuine issues (economy, safety) to political theater (Epstein hearings performing outrage about a transparent release).

Jordan Order

“What does a Dow have to do with anything? That’s what they just asked. Are you kidding? Mr. Jordan, Mr. Jordan. Committee will be in order.”

Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) calling for order as Democrats interrupted. The committee proceedings increasingly chaotic.

“Mr. Jordan, am I going to get an extra 45 seconds added to my time?”

Bondi requesting additional time due to interruptions. “The committee will be in order. The time belongs to the gentleman from Texas. The attorney general can respond.”

The chairman sustained Bondi’s right to respond. Democratic interruptions did not succeed in preventing Bondi from answering.

Broader Trump Record

“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.”

The narrative — Trump exceeding expectations. Markets performing beyond any prior scenario.

“National media and rents have fallen to a four-year low, thanks to Donald Trump.”

National median rents — down to four-year low. Housing costs easing after years of inflation.

“That’s why they want to focus on Epstein.”

Bondi’s framework — Democratic focus on Epstein is distraction from Trump’s record of accomplishments. The economic and safety wins hurt Democrats politically, so they redirect to perceived scandal.

Crime Record

“Their murder rate, as I said, has plummeted to 125-year low, thanks to Donald Trump.”

125-year low — murder rate lower than at any point since 1900. The historical significance massive.

The drivers:

Enhanced law enforcement
Border security reducing criminal import
Mass deportation of criminal aliens
Federal crime initiative
National Guard deployments
Prosecution policies

Border Record

“For an unprecedented nine straight months, there were zero illegal border crossings at the southern border.”

Zero illegal crossings for nine consecutive months — unprecedented in modern border enforcement history.

The transformation from Biden-era peak (~300,000 monthly encounters) to Trump-era zero represents a complete policy success.

“That’s what we should be focused on. All the great work that this president has done and will continue to do.”

Lofgren Attack

Bondi then turned to specific Democratic committee members.

“I find it interesting that she keeps going after President Trump, the greatest president in American history.”

Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) had been aggressive in her questioning. Bondi responded.

“And if they could maintain their composure, this isn’t a circus. This is a hearing.”

Bondi noting the tone of the proceedings — Democrats making the hearing circus-like through interruptions and theatrical responses.

“I find it interesting she keeps going after Donald Trump. She doesn’t say how much money she took from Reed Hoffman, did you?”

Reid Hoffman — LinkedIn co-founder, major Democratic donor, has contributed to Epstein-related lawsuits, funded E. Jean Carroll case. Hoffman’s contributions to Lofgren and other Democrats. Hoffman also had personal Epstein connections.

“And nor did she post anything.”

“Mr. Chairman, regular order, please. Regular order.”

The Democrat’s attempt to stop Bondi’s line of attack.

“Nothing on her ex-account, on her Twitter account, during the Biden years.”

The devastating point — Lofgren posted nothing about Epstein on social media during the Biden years. Her interest is recent and political.

Nadler Attack

“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.”

Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) — longtime House Judiciary ranking member, led two impeachments against Trump.

“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.”

Bondi had been in the Trump impeachment defense team. She personally experienced the impeachment process and knows the underlying evidence.

The Mueller report — no finding of 2016 election conspiracy with Russia. Despite Nadler’s public claims during impeachment proceedings.

“Have you apologized to President Trump? Have you apologized to President Trump?”

Bondi’s rhetorical demand — Nadler made false accusations that did not survive investigation. Apology owed.

Bondi’s Demand

“All of you who participated in those impeachment hearings against Donald Trump, you all should be apologizing.”

All impeachment participants — Nadler, Schiff, others — should apologize. The accusations did not hold up.

“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.”

Bondi’s closing — she will not tolerate continued Democratic attacks on Trump based on discredited accusations.

Significance

Bondi’s testimony captured several themes:

Transparency — 3 million pages of Epstein files released under Trump, versus Obama/Biden-era secrecy
Political selective interest — Democrats silent on Epstein during Garland tenure now performing outrage
Economic and safety record — Trump’s accomplishments that Democrats seek to obscure
Accountability for past false accusations — impeachment proceedings and Russian collusion hoax requiring apologies

Bondi’s aggressive counter-questioning approach — treating the Democratic committee members as hostile witnesses — reflects the Trump administration’s willingness to attack back.

The Reid Hoffman revelation about Lofgren funding, combined with the Mueller report reminder about Nadler’s false claims, provided material Democrats did not want surfaced.
