After being fired by President Trump, the former U.S. Attorney General tried to skip her appearance before the House Oversight Committee entirely. Public pressure forced her to show up.
But now Committee Chair James Comer is letting her avoid public scrutiny: no video recording, transcript only — a standard they didn't apply to others who have testified before the committee.
Under Bondi’s leadership, the Justice Department has:
- Dropped more than 23,000 criminal investigations, abandoning cases involving corruption, white-collar crime, domestic terrorism, and more1
- Fired more than a dozen lawyers who had worked on cases investigating President Trump2
- Slashed the team investigating official corruption3
- Refused to investigate federal agents’ killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis 4, or to turn over evidence to local investigators in Good’s or Alex Pretti’s killings5
- Leveraged DOJ power against political opponents of the president, including lawmakers, former government officials, and outspoken critics, via often baseless prosecutions and investigations6
Let’s be clear: her testimony must be public. The public deserves answers about how she was running the Justice Department, why she made the decisions she did, and who else–including in the White House–was involved.
It’s Congress’s job to get those answers and hold the executive branch accountable.
