Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal accuses DOJ of 'spying' on her search history from unredacted Epstein files review

Source: ABC News

House Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of "spying" on her search history when the congresswoman visited the Department of Justice earlier this week to view unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files.

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files," Jayapal said in a post on X. "Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched. That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members."

Photos from a House Judiciary Committee hearing at which Bondi appeared on Wednesday show printouts she referenced were titled: "Jayapal Pramila Search History."

A diagram on the page shows several documents from the DOJ's Epstein files that Jayapal searched. File numbers and brief descriptions of the contents are shown, according to photos taken of Bondi's document.

This is absolutely spying on the Dems doing their jobs. How else are they using the DOJ to spy on Dems? The computers are for the use of Congress, how can they spy on the access without a warrant?

How they do it last night. He said the doj folks have to login on the machines and all the Congress members are on one login and then they also sit next to the Congressperson and probably copy everything they look at from there. The Congresspersons do not have individual logins as the should.
