“Because you were following the congressional law, correct?” Lieu clarified, to which Bondi responded: “Yes.”
“You have now established that we – please put the photos back up – that we are looking at a sex trafficking victim,” Lieu continued.
“Under the federal Victims Trafficking Protection Act, not only is Jeffrey Epstein guilty, but anyone who patronises Epstein’s sex operation is also guilty of a crime.
“That’s why I find it absolutely despicable that you sought to protect Epstein’s clients, like former Prince Andrew. Last July, you closed the case on Epstein’s abusers.
“The July 2025 memo from your Department of Justice stated, ‘We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties’.
“These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime, and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation against former Prince Andrew.
“So I ask you, Attorney General Pam Bondi, why did you shut down this investigation last July? And why have you not prosecuted former Prince Andrew?’”
