Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was seen with his eyes closed during portions of a key House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Pam Bondi<\/a>, leading observers to pan him for sleeping as the attorney general was testifying.<\/p>\n

Nadler, a 78-year-old 17-term congressman, was seen with his eyes shut as Bondi gave her opening statement as part of her first appearance before the panel since taking the helm of the DOJ.<\/p>\n

The committee’s Republican-led X account shared a video<\/a> of Nadler with sleeping emojis and observed that Nadler also appeared to doze off as Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the committee, gave his opening remarks.<\/p>\n

“Don’t worry, @RepNadler. We are tired of listening to @RepRaskin complain about President Trump too!” the committee Republicans wrote.<\/p>\n

Another social media user shared a separate<\/a> video of Nadler appearing with his eyes closed.<\/p>\n

Nadler “falls asleep during @AGPamBondi opening statement at today\u2019s DOJ hearing. Gets awaken by staffer #TermLimits,” the user wrote.<\/p>\n

The conservative Townhall<\/a> posted a similar image of Nadler “caught sleeping” during the hearing.<\/p>\n

Nadler was alert when it came time for him to question Bondi, using the moment to spar with her over the DOJ’s efforts to comply with a law that required the department to release all unclassified material related to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>‘s sex trafficking cases.<\/p>\n

Gun rights activist Andrew Pollack<\/a> wrote on X that “sleeping during the House Judiciary Committee speaks volumes about how seriously he actually takes the Epstein victims.”<\/p>\n

Nadler, who previously served as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, announced in September that he would retire from Congress after more than three decades in office.<\/p>\n
