Trump, Pam Bondi and Jeffrey Epstein

This week, Bondi confirmed that, despite her prior vow to release the Epstein files, she stands behind the conclusions in the FBI’s memo, which “speaks for itself.” The AG’s turnabout evoked rage from many of Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters — several of whom have called for Bondi’s resignation or firing.
Trump denied the report. “I never wrote a picture in my life,” he told the newspaper. “I don’t draw pictures of women.” Trump later confirmed his plans to seek legal action against the newspaper; its parent company, News Corp.; and Rupert Murdoch, the organization’s head.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor in the Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases and the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, according to reports.
