Representative Ted Lieu accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of lying under oath Wednesday, catching the Trump official in a bind after she claimed no evidence existed of young girls at parties attended by the president.

The California lawmaker highlighted that, under Bondi’s direction per a July 2025 memo, the Justice Department had “not uncovered evidence” that warranted investigations against “uncharged third parties.”

He then referred to recently released images of ex-Prince Andrew, depicting the disgraced British royal on all fours, towering over one of Epstein’s victims.

“These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and are more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation against former Prince Andrew,” Lieu said. “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?”

    We are extremely unlikely to see any justice even if the Democrats are in control of Congress and the White House.

    For decades the Democrats have been unwilling to enforce black letter law no matter what the consequences to the country. Case in point: Trump’s currently sitting in the White House instead of a prison cell because the Democrats lack anything resembling a spine.

    If Trump’s still alive in 3 years the Democrats will almost certainly say “It’s time look forward and not back” and let him and most of his ilk walk away completely unscathed.

      I should have kept reading the comments, I replied to them with almost this exact thing. It sucks how we just know this is how the Democrats are going to act… If they aren’t already declared a terrorist organization by then.
