AKING: Late-Night
A viral late-night segment reignited debate after Jimmy Kimmel criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. During a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing, lawmakers questioned document redactions, transparency, and reports that congressional search activity may have been logged in a DOJ reading room. Representative Pramila Jayapal pressed Bondi about victim outreach, intensifying partisan clashes. Bondi defended the department’s actions, citing privacy protections and legal compliance. Kimmel’s on-air commentary amplified concerns about accountability while mocking the administration’s responses. The controversy continues as courts review related FOIA disputes and political scrutiny deepens.
