AG Bondi refuses to apologize to Epstein survivors at House Judiciary hearing

Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the House Judiciary Committee on February 11, 2026, where six Epstein survivors seated behind her raised their hands indicating they had never been contacted by the DOJ. When Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked Bondi to turn and apologize to the survivors for leaking their identities from the Epstein files, Bondi refused, calling the request "theatrics" and saying she would not "get in the gutter." Bondi also refused to answer questions about the files under the oversight of her department.
