2:24Now PlayingRep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi about the nation’s cryptocurrency enforcement team under the Department of Justice at a House oversight hearing Wednesday.
Neguse asked Bondi how many people work in the division, and Bondi did not answer. Instead, Bondi talked about Mohamed Soliman, who was charged last summer with hate crimes after attacking an event in Boulder, Colorado, which Neguse represents.
“When a member of Congress asks how many people work at the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and the attorney general refuses to answer it, it is not a coincidence. It's because she eliminated the team,” Neguse said.
Wednesday’s hearing offered an opportunity for lawmakers to question Bondi on a number of controversial issues involving the Justice Department, including around the Trump administration’s failure to meet a Congress-mandated deadline to release all of its Epstein files; the legal justification for the administration’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific; as well as prosecutions of perceived Trump political rivals like James Comey and Letitia James. Bondi is seeking to revive both cases, which were already thrown out by a U.S. district judge.
