Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a former U.S. Attorney and Rhode Island Attorney General, today released the following statement after the Attorney General made demonstrably false claims before the Senate Judiciary Committee:
“Contrary to what the Attorney General said multiple times today, nobody by the name of Reid (or Reed) Hoffman has donated to any of my campaigns – not in 2018, not in 2024, not ever. Attorney General Bondi made up nonsense to avoid answering whether the White House Border Czar returned the $50k cash payment that the FBI gave him, and whether the FBI has photos from Epstein’s safe of Trump with young women, and whether FBI Director Patel lied to us.
“The American people should expect that their Attorney General can answer simple questions and tell the truth and perform elementary fact-checking. That is not the case with Trump’s MAGA Department of Justice.”
