During the session, she engaged in heated exchanges, accusing certain senators of lying and defending her role in the Trump administration. Criticism mounted as Bondi declined to comment on sensitive topics, including troop deployments and investigations involving the former president. The hearing highlighted the ongoing tensions between the DOJ and Senate Democrats regarding accountability and transparency in governance.
