Jayapal Alleges DOJ Spied on Her Search History
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) claimed that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi monitored her search history while she was looking at files on a government computer related to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
This accusation came after a House Judiciary Committee hearing where Bondi allegedly had printouts of Jayapal’s search activities, as reported by ABC News.
On social media, Jayapal expressed her outrage, stating, “It is completely inappropriate and contrary to the separation of powers for the Department of Justice to monitor us as we investigate the Epstein file. Bondi showed up today with an incineration log of his search history printed with the exact contents of the emails I searched. This is outrageous, and I will pursue this and stop him from spying on our members.”
It’s worth noting that Jayapal was using government computers which were purportedly being monitored.
In July, she suggested a connection between President Donald Trump and the Epstein files, claiming he was “hiding something” regarding those materials.
Previously, it was reported that Trump had dismissed Epstein as “disgusting” back in 2006 and had labeled Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s procurer, as a “bad person,” based on recently released court documents.
Before the House hearing, the U.S. Department of Justice had released millions of pages of documents related to Epstein under the Epstein File Transparency Act. This act came into effect following considerable public and political pressure and mandates the release of files concerning Epstein and Maxwell.
On the topic of surveillance, FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed in October that some Republican senators and one Congressman might have had their private communications monitored during President Joe Biden’s term, as reported by Breitbart News.
Patel argued that such abuse of power must end, asserting that under his leadership, the FBI would uphold accountability and truth.
Interestingly, during Biden’s administration, Jayapal didn’t speak out about the alleged illegal spying by Jack Smith on Congressional leaders.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) weighed in on the recent Epstein file releases, noting that she had discovered the DOJ was monitoring what documents Congress members were reviewing. She confirmed that “the Department of Justice is tracking the Epstein documents that members of Congress are searching, releasing, and reviewing.” Mace mentioned that she had verified the tracking through associated timestamps.
