Trump Backs Pam Bondi Amid Controversy over Epstein Memo
Support for Bondi amid Epstein memo backlash mounts.
In a striking show of support, President Donald Trump has come to the defence of Attorney General Pam Bondi amidst criticisms from within his own base regarding a memo about Jeffrey Epstein, who has been accused of sex trafficking. Trump took to Truth Social, exclaiming Bondi is doing a “FANTASTIC JOB” in her role. He questioned the motives of those targeting Bondi and reaffirmed that the MAGA movement needs to stay united, rather than allowing dissent to undermine the administration — which he referred to as “perfect” and the “talk of the world.”
Bongino’s resignation thoughts signal deepening tensions.
The fallout over the Epstein memo, which stated there was no evidence of a client list or murder, has not been quiet. Reports have emerged that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino might consider resigning due to tensions between the FBI and the Department of Justice stemming from the memo release. Critics like right-wing activist Laura Loomer have called for Bondi’s ouster, while former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has voiced concerns over transparency, suggesting the federal investigation was poorly managed. One Trump adviser even labelled the situation a “political nightmare.”
Trump redirects FBI focus while backing Bondi.
Trump has brushed off scrutiny regarding Epstein during his public appearances, attributing the notoriety of the case to political adversaries, including notable figures like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Frustrated by the ongoing obsession with Epstein, he questioned why the alleged “Epstein Files” had not been revealed if they contained damaging information against MAGA. The president has also urged the FBI to shift focus away from Epstein, directing them instead to investigate issues such as voter fraud and political corruption. He reiterated his endorsement of Bondi, declaring, “LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!”
