ADMINISTRATION IS BREAKING THE LAW

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026)] [House] [Page H2891] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1020 ADMINISTRATION IS BREAKING THE LAW (Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, this administration is testing us. They are testing the truth, testing the law, but, most importantly, they are testing our resolve in the Epstein case and whether or not they can continue to lie and commit crimes right in front of our faces. Yesterday, Pam Bondi was ordered to appear in front of the Oversight and Reform Committee and did not come. Todd Blanche said that he would not release any more files because perhaps they believed that Donald Trump's blanket pardon would excuse them and save their bacon. So let me be clear: You are breaking the law, and I hope you are getting ready to face contempt. To the survivors out there who have been through decades of injustice in this case: Know that we are fighting, and while the road to justice may be long, we will not stop until we get it. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their comments to the Chair. ____________________
