Did Bondi spy on Democrats’ search history of unredacted Epstein Files? Rep. Raskin calls it ‘outrageous abuse of power’

Rep. Pramila Jayapal has accused Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi of 'spying' on her search history during a recent congressional hearing regarding unredacted documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. This allegation has sparked significant outrage among Democratic lawmakers, particularly from Rep. Jamie Raskin, who condemned the actions of the Department of Justice (DOJ) as an 'outrageous abuse of power.' Raskin emphasized that instead of focusing on monitoring congressional activities, the DOJ should prioritize pursuing criminal indictments in connection with Epstein's case. He has called for a thorough investigation into these allegations, underscoring concerns about the integrity of congressional proceedings and the balance of power. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between lawmakers and the DOJ, particularly regarding transparency and accountability in high-profile cases. This incident raises critical questions about the extent of surveillance and oversight that government agencies may exert over congressional members as they fulfill their legislative duties, particularly in sensitive matters involving prominent figures such as Epstein.
