Prominent MAGA figures, including Kyle Rittenhouse and Rep. Thomas Massie, criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for deflecting questions about the Epstein files during a congressional hearing, with some calling for her resignation or impeachment.
Bondi faced accusations of dodging transparency requests, pivoting to economic successes under Trump and dismissing concerns as “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” leaving Epstein’s victims and critics frustrated.
