Inside the Bondi Hearing: The Moment That Left Lawmakers Stunned

Rep. Walkinshaw reveals what happened behind closed doors when Pam Bondi was asked whether Trump would have acted had he known about Epstein's crimes—and why her answer is raising new questions.

Welcome back to The Red Letter.

Pam Bondi finally sat down with Congress to answer questions about Epstein.

But did it behind closed doors. No cameras. No oath. Just sitting next to a DOJ attorney, Harmeet Dhillon.

“Her lawyer, not under oath, it’s all a clown show,” Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni texted me. “I’m under no illusion, this is politics as usual.”

But according to my interview with Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) on The Tara Palmeri Show, one answer may have revealed more than Bondi intended to.

Lawmakers asked Bondi whether President Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes before they became public.

Walkinshaw says she had every opportunity to say no.

Instead, her answer was: “I don’t know.”

“She said ‘you know I don’t have uh enough information to know what what what he knew and that was a a strange strange response I suspect,” he said.

“That’s one that she’s probably already heard from the White House about.”

In this interview, the House Oversight member who was in the room walks me through what happened during Bondi’s closed-door interview, why she repeatedly referred difficult questions to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and what Democrats believe is still being hidden from the public.

If Bondi’s goal was to put questions about Epstein to rest, she may have accomplished the opposite.
