Donald Trump has grown weary of defending Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Justice Department’s Jeffery Epstein files and wants her to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess, according to four people familiar with White House deliberations.
“One thing that’s been clear is his feelings about it,” one White House official told NBC News. “This now resides within the DOJ.”
The administration’s refusal to disclose the full contents of the government’s investigation into Epstein, who killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on charges of sex-trafficking minors in 2019, has caused a deep rift between Trump and significant elements of his MAGA base.
I wonder if she has enough conscience and self-respect left to just dump the whole dirty mess out to the public.
Yeah, probably not. It’s fun to imagine, though.
No she was involved with the Epstein shit back in Florida decades ago. She’s been involved in covering this shit up well before it got to this point.
Source? I’d love to see
She was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019. At any point in there she could have prosecuted Epstein separately from the deal Alex Acosta made in 2008. Plenty of new information was available after that and ignored by the State of Florida under her watch.

Not defending Pam Bondi, but that’s quite a bit different from proof she “was involved with the Epstein shit”.
She is smart enough, probably, to know he will take her down with him. Either MAGA and the news get distracted with something else, she releases more documents with careful redactions of Trump and other prominent rightwingers, or she gets fired and replaced with someone willing to.
The thing is, it’s probably the shiny, dangling carrot of her in a more powerful position that motivates her more than the stick
What’s higher than AG for a lawyer?
I think it’s not uncommon that politicians get their law degree and go on to various high positions in government that may not be relevant to those degrees. In this administration, the only thing that matters is loyalty so sky is the limit for her.
1000x this. Lots of his “administration” are total clowns with zero relevant credentials, like Bobby Brainworm.
Dan Bongino the conservative radio host to deputy director of the FBI always pops in my head.
A Supreme Court seat.
A seat in the Supreme Court gets you decades of bribes
2 AGs at the same time
