司法部长帕姆·邦迪（Pam Bondi）周三在众议院司法委员会的听证会上与该委员会成员展开激烈争执。这是去年她被任命为美国最高执法官员以来的首次公开亮相。听证会很快陷入混乱和争吵，民主党人指责邦迪的行为，而邦迪则坚决维护其任内司法部的决策，有时还反唇相讥。
以下是这场针锋相对的听证会上五个最值得关注的要点和最激烈的交锋。

1. 泰德·刘议员指控邦迪作伪证
加利福尼亚州民主党众议员泰德·刘（Ted Lieu）指责邦迪就一份据称显示唐纳德·特朗普总统被指控强奸的证人陈述撒谎，称：”你刚刚在宣誓后撒谎。”
“你永远不要指控我犯罪！”邦迪回击。双方争执不断升级，乔丹努力维持秩序。
“这太荒谬了，”邦迪回应道，”他们试图转移对唐纳德·特朗普所做的所有好事的注意力。没有证据表明唐纳德·特朗普犯了罪，所有人都知道这一点！”
2. “转身道歉”

最受广泛关注的时刻之一是与华盛顿州民主党众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔的交锋。贾亚帕尔要求邦迪转身向坐在众议院旁听席上的爱泼斯坦幸存者道歉，因为司法部公布的文件未对他们的姓名进行编辑。
“你会转向幸存者并道歉吗？”贾亚帕尔问道，指责司法部加剧了他们的创伤。邦迪拒绝道歉，开始引用前政府的行为，贾亚帕尔随即打断她。
“这与你之前的行为无关。这关乎你为司法部及其对站在你身后等待你转身道歉的幸存者造成的伤害负责，”贾亚帕尔说。
“我不会为她的表演陷入泥潭，”她回击道，片刻后又低声说，”不专业。”
3. 梅西与邦迪的争执
值得注意的是，一些共和党人也向邦迪提出了尖锐问题，主要集中在爱泼斯坦案件文件的处理和公布上。
其中包括肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·梅西（Thomas Massie），他批评了在邦迪任内发生的文件删改问题。
梅西指出，在他看来，司法部”过度删改”了一些可能具有罪证性质的信息，却未能对受害者姓名进行编辑。
“这种掩盖跨越数十年，而你要为这部分负责，”他对邦迪说。
作为回应，邦迪回击梅西是个”失败的政客”，患有”特朗普精神错乱综合征”。
众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹（Jim Jordan）多次介入，因为议员们就程序和”夺回时间”问题争执不休。

4. 邦迪确认收到指控布伦南伪证的刑事转诊
邦迪证实，她收到了众议院司法委员会关于前中情局局长约翰·布伦南（John Brennan）向国会撒谎的刑事转诊请求。
这一消息是在与乔丹的对话中披露的，乔丹询问邦迪布伦南是否会被起诉。
司法部数月来一直调查布伦南等人与2016年俄罗斯调查的起源有关的问题，而民主党人则抨击这一调查具有政治动机。
“我可以确认的是，我们收到了您（乔丹主席）关于调查约翰·布伦南的转诊请求，”邦迪在回应乔丹关于布伦南是否会被起诉的问题时表示。
她补充道：”今天我可以说的是，我不能确认或否认是否有正在进行的调查，但我要说的是，没有人凌驾于法律之上。武器化已经结束。”

5. 纳德勒与邦迪激烈争执
在某个时刻，纽约州民主党众议员杰里·纳德勒（Jerry Nadler）直接询问邦迪，在她任内，司法部起诉了多少爱泼斯坦的同谋者。
“爱泼斯坦的多少名同谋者被你起诉？你甚至在调查多少名犯罪者？”纳德勒问道。
邦迪没有给出具体数字，而是将焦点转向对过去弹劾程序的批评，并重申司法部将调查提出的可靠证据。
纳德勒尖锐地插话：”答案是零。”

Attorney General Pam Bondi sparred with members of the House Judiciary Committee during a tense hearing Wednesday, as she sought to defend the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and push back on Democrats’ accusations of so-called “weaponization” within the department.
Bondi’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee was the first since her confirmation last year as the top U.S. law enforcement official. Much of the hearing quickly descended into chaos and shouting matches, as Democrats took aim at Bondi’s actions, and as Bondi doubled downon the department’s decisions under her watch. At times, she responded with barbs of her own.
Here are the five biggest takeaways and most heated exchanges from the sharp-elbowed hearing.
BONDI HEARING DEVOLVES INTO CHAOS OF SHOUTS AS AG ACCUSES TOP DEMOCRATS OF ‘THEATRICS’

- Ted Lieu accuses Bondi of lying under oath
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., accused Bondi of lying under oath about an alleged witness statement that he said showed President Donald Trump had been accused of rape, saying: “You just lied under oath.”
“Don’t you ever accuse me of a crime!” Bondi fired back: The exchange spiraled into chaos, with Jordan struggling to restore order.
“This is so ridiculous,” Bondi said in response. “And they are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done. There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime; everyone knows that!”
2. ‘Turn around … and apologize’

One of the most widely-shared moments came during an exchange with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who demanded that Bondi turn around and apologize to the Epstein survivors seated behind her in the House gallery for publishing documents that failed to redact their names.
“Will you turn to the survivors … and apologize?” Jayapal asked, accusing the department of compounding their trauma. Bondi refused, beginning to cite the actions of the former administration before Jayapal interjected.
“This is not about anybody that came before you. It is about you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm that it has done to the survivors who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to turn to them and apologize,” Jayapal said.
“I’m not going to get in the gutter for her theatrics,” she shot back, before muttering moments later, “Unprofessional.”

3. Massie, Bondi spat
Notably, some Republicans also posed tough questions for Bondi, largely centered on the handling and publication of the Epstein files.
Among them was Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who criticized the redactions that occurred on Bondi’s watch.
Massie noted that, in his view, DOJ was “over-redacting” certain information that could be potentially incriminating, while failing to redact the names of the victims.
“This cover-up spans decades, and you are responsible for this portion of it,” he told her.
In response, Bondi shot back that Massie was a “failed politician” with “Trump derangement syndrome.”
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, intervened multiple times as members sparred over procedure and “reclaiming” time.

4. Bondi confirms criminal referral alleging Brennan perjury
Bondi confirmed that she received a criminal referral from the House Judiciary Committee alleging that former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress.
The news came during an exchange with Jordan, who asked Bondi if Brennan would be indicted.
The reference comes as the Justice Department for months has been investigating Brennan and others over the origins of the 2016 Russia investigation — a probe Democrats have assailed as politically motivated.
“What I can confirm is that we have received a referral from you, Chairman Jordan, to investigate John Brennan,” Bondi said, responding to Jordan’s question whether Brennan would be indicted.
She added: “What I will say today I can’t confirm nor deny whether there’s a pending investigation, but what I will say [is] that no one is above the law. Weaponization has ended.”

5. Nadler tangles with Bondi
At one point, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) directly asked Bondi how many Epstein coconspirators had been indicted by the Justice Department on her watch.

“How many of Epstein’s co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?” Nadler asked.
Bondi did not provide a number. Instead, she shifted the focus to criticism of past impeachment proceedings and reiterated that the department would investigate credible evidence that is brought forward.
Nadler interjected sharply: “The answer is zero.”
