House Democrats walk out of tense briefing with Bondi over Epstein files

House Democrats walked out of a closed-door briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday, citing tensions over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The exodus signals deepening frustration among Democrats regarding how the Trump administration is managing the probe into Epstein and his associates. The Epstein case has long been a flashpoint for congressional Democrats, who have demanded transparency and accountability around the financier's connections to powerful figures. The walkout underscores the partisan divide over DOJ priorities and suggests Democrats intend to maintain pressure on Bondi's department to release information related to the investigation. It remains unclear what specific disclosures or actions prompted the Democrats' departure from the briefing.
