Pam Bondi grilled during Senate Committee hearing | In Full

Video Description

Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer whether Donald Trump directed prosecutions of his enemies and seemed unable to answer how many undocumented immigrants are in Chicago or whether it is a “sanctuary city” during her first oversight hearing since taking office as the nation’s top law enforcement official. A combative Bondi repeatedly refused to answer Senate Judiciary Committee questions throughout the hearing including her decision to drop an investigation into Trump’s border czar Tom Homan and the forced resignation of the U.S. attorney in Virginia, where former FBI director James Comey became one of the latest targets of Trump’s retribution campaign. Bondi also defended her refusal to publicly release case files involving former Trump ally and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — and declined to answer whether the FBI discovered photographs of Trump with “half-naked women,” allegations that Bondi called “salacious” and designed to “slander” the president. 0:00 - Intro 00:01 Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
