Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL) hit Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday with a serious allegation and demanded she resign.
Garcia accused Bondi of "hiding from the committee" of lawmakers and weaponizing the Department of Justice to target working families, immigrants and to serve President Donald Trump's agenda during a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill.
"You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are, how you act, and the lack of good values," Garcia said.
Garcia told Bondi directly that she had protected powerful criminals within the Trump administration.
"My Democratic colleagues have focused on your cover-up of the Epstein files and your passion for protecting pedophiles and child traffickers," Garcia said. "That alone is grounds for impeachment."
