WASHINGTON — Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., slammed the Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi for allegedly tracking the search history of lawmakers who reviewed files from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday amid fiery criticism that the she botched the release of the Epstein files. A photo captured by Reuters Wednesday evening shows the attorney general holding a sheet of paper titled “Jayapal Pramila Search History,” which lists at least eight searches.

Jayapal confirmed that the document accurately depicted her search history.

“Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched,” Jayapal said.

“It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files,” she said. “That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members.”

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to The Seattle Times’ request for comment.

Jayapal was among many Democratic House members who shared blistering condemnations of Bondi on Wednesday. At one point during the hours-long hearing, Jayapal asked Bondi to apologize to victims present in the audience. Bondi deflected and said she would not engage in Jayapal’s “theatrics.”
