The hearing had no shortage of shout-outs, name-calling and meme-worthy moments, but one specific Bondi comment quickly gained the most traction online.

As House Democrats pressed her on why no Epstein clients were charged, Bondi responded with a line no one saw coming: “The Dow is over 50,000!” she said, referring to the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
