The most heated moment of the hearing came when Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed with Democratic Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont, questioning whether she had raised similar concerns about Jeffrey Epstein with former President Bill Clinton or former Attorney General Merrick Garland. After Balint dismissed the line of questioning as “weaksauce,” Bondi accused her of voting against a resolution condemning the phrase “from the river to the sea” as antisemitic, prompting Balint to respond angrily and reference her family’s Holocaust history before leaving the chamber.
Balint, who is Jewish, has previously spoken publicly about her grandfather surviving the Holocaust.
