Attorney General Pam Bondi faced scrutiny from House lawmakers on Wednesday regarding the Justice Department's handling of President Trump's political adversaries and the Epstein files, marking a year into her tenure. Meanwhile, the U.S. accused China of conducting secret nuclear tests, and tech workers voiced concerns over their companies' silence on ICE actions.
Bondi's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee was highly anticipated, as she was expected to address the department's actions, according to NPR News. The hearing, scheduled for 10 a.m. ET, came after a tumultuous year marked by significant departures from established departmental norms.
Simultaneously, the U.S. raised concerns about China's potential secret nuclear tests. According to NPR News, the U.S. government made this claim late last week. The report included a 2:37 audio clip discussing the situation.
In other news, tech employees expressed growing discontent over their companies' silence regarding ICE actions. Breaking: The Verge reported that this industry-wide discontent stemmed from ethical concerns about the implications of their work.
The Epstein files also continued to generate headlines. Vox reported that the files could potentially have significant political ramifications, although not necessarily within the U.S. government. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's position was reportedly precarious as a result.
Additionally, Vox reported on a developing dynamic within American Christian communities, with some observers noting a potential shift in the Catholic Church.
