Attorney General Pam Bondi shouted down a Democratic senator after she was asked about a tape allegedly indicating that border czar Tom Homan took $50,000 from undercover FBI agents.
During a Tuesday Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) asked Bondi to confirm if there was "a tape that has audio and video of the transfer of the $50,000."
"You would have to talk to Director Patel about that," Bondi stated.
"No, I'm talking to you," Welch pressed.
"I don't know the answer, Senator," Bondi claimed.
"You do know the answer to that," Welch insisted.
"Don't call me a liar!" the attorney general shouted.
"I didn't call you a liar," Welch noted. "If you don't know, why don't you know whether there was a tape and video?"
"Senator, I believe that was resolved prior to my confirmation as attorney general," Bondi asserted.
"Do you think that it is of public interest for the people to know what happened to the 50 grand that the FBI turned over to Homan?" the senator wondered.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Bondi huffed. "That was resolved prior to my confirmation as Attorney General. That's why I said I would not know."
"It's not resolved," Welch pointed out. "There's $50,000. Homan has it, or somebody has it. Do you have no interest in knowing where it is?"
"You're not gonna sit here and slander Tom Homan!" Bondi exclaimed.
"He got to 50 grand," Welch observed.
