Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday stonewalled a question at a Senate Judiciary Committee about who ordered FBI agents to flag any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump during a review this year of investigative files about the late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Sen. Dick Durbin, in a letter in July, mentioned that purported order to FBI agents as he asked the Justice Department about past promises to release the Epstein files and a subsequent decision by Bondi not to do so.
"So, who gave the order to flag records related to President Trump?" Durbin, D-Ill., asked Bondi at Tuesday's Judiciary Committee hearing.
"To flag records which included his name?" Durbin asked.
Boni bristled as she answered, "I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you, senator."
Durbin replied, "Eventually you're going to have to answer for your conduct in this, you won't do it today, but eventually you will."
