James Walkinshaw said Bondi did answer one question about Trump and argued it was an example of why she needed to answer questions under oath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was asked specifically about Donald Trump, President Trump\u2019s awareness of Epstein\u2019s crimes before they became public knowledge. She had the opportunity to say Donald Trump certainly wasn\u2019t aware of those crimes; she had the opportunity to say \u2018I know Donald Trump, and if he was aware of those crimes, he would have done something.\u2019 Instead, she said, \u2018I don\u2019t know,\u2019\u201d Walkinshaw told reporters. \u201cShe also said, quote, this is a direct quote, \u2018I\u2019m not certain of the extent of his knowledge.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Joining Bondi in the closed-door session were Justice Department lawyers who, according to Democrats, stepped in multiple times and told Bondi she would not answer questions. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=271\">Bondi Throws Trump Lawyer Under the Bus Over Epstein Files<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They said the Justice Department official specifically intervened to stop her from speaking about what the president had directed Bondi to do. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen asked specifically about a conversation with Donald Trump, one of the Department of Justice Attorneys intervened and said that she did not have to answer the question because it was a voluntary interview, and said, in fact, \u2018we don\u2019t even have to assert privilege because of that\u2019 and said \u2018we refuse to provide answers,\u2019\u201d recalled Democratic Rep. Melanie Stansbury. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means the United States Department of Justice is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to stop her from answering questions about what happened in the cover-up of this case, and her conversations with Donald Trump, and is asserting that she does not have to answer questions because she is not required to because she is not being deposed under oath. This is a cover-up,\u201d Stansbury declared.<\/p>\n<p>Bondi met with members of the committee while she was still attorney general, but Democrats accused her of trying to hold the meeting to answer questions and avoid appearing under oath in response to the subpoena. <\/p>\n<p>Then, Bondi was fired by Trump right before she was supposed to be deposed as attorney general. The Justice Department used it to claim she did not have to comply with the subpoena because she was no longer the attorney general, despite it being issued for her by name.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some others who went before the committee, including Hillary and Bill Clinton, she was neither under oath nor interviewed on camera behind closed doors. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats accused Bondi of being combative and Justice Department lawyers of rolling their eyes as they tried to shut down questions about the president and the administration\u2019s handling of the files. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>They said that Bondi admitted the Justice Department had not released about three million of the six million Epstein documents. But Blanche recently said the department did not plan to release any more files. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Democrats are demanding that the acting attorney general also appear before the committee for its investigation and have threatened to force a subpoena vote should Chairman James Comer not call him in.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=269\">Lara Trump Accidentally Exposes Trump\u2019s True Height<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Capitol Hill to answer questions about her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and files, but she refused to say anything about her old boss, Donald Trump.
