The US Attorney General Merrick Garland’s successor, Pamela Jones, has rejected a call from a Democratic Party representative to apologize to the victims of disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Representative Pramila Jayapal asked the victims in the room to raise their hands if they had not yet met with justice officials, and all of them did. However, when Jayapal requested that the Attorney General apologize to the victims, Garland replied by referencing his predecessor’s approach, stating that he would not apologize. Committee ranking member and Democratic Party representative Jamie Raskin also questioned Garland about the Department of Justice’s handling of the case, accusing him of siding with the accused and ignoring the victims. In response, Garland called Raskin a “failed lawyer” and questioned his credentials.
