It recounts that Rep. Summer Lee demanded cameras and a C-SPAN broadcast, while Comer noted there were no cameras in the room; Democrats allegedly stormed out when the briefing proceeded without them. The piece highlights Republican reactions on social media, including quotes and tweets from Comer, Burchett, and others accusing Democrats of staging the event and failing to ask substantive questions, with bondi saying a Democrat shouted that C-SPAN wasn&#8217;t present. It also states that Bondi and Comer corroborated Kaitlan Collins\u2019 reporting and argues that Democrats\u2019 outrage is hypocritical, suggesting the Epstein issue only gained traction under Trump because it wouldn\u2019t be released under a Democratic management. The article concludes by warning readers not to misconstrue the commentary as an exoneration of Bondi, Trump, or the broader administration, and it portrays Democrats as insincere in their concern for Epstein\u2019s victims.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Pam Bondi has not exactly covered herself in glory.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one could argue that President Donald Trump&rsquo;s entire administration has botched everything pertaining to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >convicted sex offender<\/a> and suspected child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as badly as anything can be botched.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Bondi and Trump have behaved 100,000 times better than their adversaries, the soulless congressional Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Late Wednesday on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting ...

Still, the piece argues Bondi and Trump have acted far more competently than their political rivals, the Democrats. On X, CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins shared a notable exchange between Rep. James Comer (R-KY), head of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA), who pressed for cameras at Bondi\u2019s briefing and wanted the proceedings shown on C-SPAN. The article describes a private briefing with Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, noting Lee\u2019s push for public visibility while Comer pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Democrats left the room when there were no cameras and no questions allowed, while Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) later appeared before the cameras to accuse Republicans of helping cover up Epstein files. Bondi and Comer reportedly confirmed Collins\u2019 account. Clips quoted Comer suggesting that many Democrats didn\u2019t ask a single substantive question, brushing off claims of a cover-up, and others labeled the walkout as staged. Republican Tim Burchett also criticized the exit as orchestrated.<\/p>\n<p>The piece cautions readers not to read this as an absolution of Bondi or the Trump administration-Epstein\u2019s case has been mishandled by multiple parties, including the FBI and Biden-era leadership. It argues Democrats have no real standing to present themselves as champions of Epstein\u2019s victims, given their four-year silence on the issue under President Biden. In the author\u2019s view, Bondi and Trump have merely erred, whereas Democrats are accused of exploiting the victims\u2019 plight for political theater<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2581832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pam-Bondi-Epstein-hearing.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[75074,76160,76161,76162,76163],"class_list":["post-2581831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-attorneygeneral","tag-bondibriefing","tag-demsstormout","tag-politicalchaos","tag-publiclynchplan"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Pam-Bondi-Epstein-hearing.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2581831"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2581835,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581831\/revisions\/2581835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2581832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2581831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2581831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2581831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
