Pam Bondi doubles down on handling of Epstein files in closed-door testimony

journalismMay 30, 2026408,968

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi told congressional investigators in closed-door testimony she defended her handling of Epstein-related files, saying redaction errors explained why some material remained sealed. Bondi placed responsibility on Blanche and Patel for the document-processing mistakes and denied ordering intentional withholding. Her testimony sharpens congressional scrutiny over why key records stayed sealed and increases pressure to release more Epstein-era documents for public review.

Excellent picture for EVERY republican in office to see. He will turn on you no matter how much you grovel and lick his boots. Too much and never enough. 🤬

Mimi82

Our “president” is a toddler shitting his pants because people told him no. Ffs

Middlerage51

Which to Trump is a betrayal. So consider why.

Slimwasherman49

Has any other human being been this thin skinned, petty, and petulant?

Boebert has no one but her So... she won't be losing He's a dumbass

shogsotg.bsky.social35

Worth repeating. "Every single one of them pushed for the release of the Epstein files"

Call me Kudos33

Best part about this, Boebert is on tv still praising trump as he attacks her. Wild

Dylan Michel27

How anyone still shows any loyalty to this asshole knowing how easily he will turn on them is baffling.

gene2459.bsky.social26

He will be 80 in a few weeks with no hope in sight of him ever growing up. Or finally being punished for all his crime.

This We Will Defend24

In other words, regardless of what they say, MAGA is okay supporting pedophiles and their enablers.

Deirdre21

FFS, where is his night nurse?

fraziberry.bsky.social21

Put Charlie Kirk in the car. He wanted the Epstein files released too. Coincidentally, he also was against weapons and money for Israel. Wonder if that’s why he’s done now?🤔

Malcolm D.20

Trump is way past mentally unstable. They need to measure him for a straight-jacket.

Pat Andrea20

I’m guessing this is the least of his attacks on them. I’d like to know how many republican politicians (and their families) he’s threatened, just to keep them in line with his agenda and the regime’s.

Kelly Bertram AKA Bravo16

It's the ONLY thing he is afraid of. #TheEpsteinFiles It's the ONLY thing FLOTUS fears as well. NEVER stop talking about #TheEpsteinFiles

Zen Zinnia14

An innocent man would want to clear his name. Just sayin'

GypsyHeart 🖤14

He is so unworthy of the title POTUS. He does NOTHING but play golf, enrich himself and his family and attacks anyone that doesn't kiss his ass.

Ben Franklin’s ghost14

For most, pushing for release of the Epstein files was their only “crime”. If that is enough to get Trump to want to sack them, it speaks volumes about Trump and Epstein’s crimes.

dave4141.bsky.social13

How much AIPEC money was used to get rid of Massie? 16 million and more. AIPEC candidates need to be called out and defeated.

lerris.bsky.social12

I think we can't hammer home enough how fake so much of their Christianity is. From Matthew 16:26 we have, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Winning at the cost of not defending children is not what I'd call winning.

VictoriousYankee12

And every one of them voted to put that pedophile back in charge.

SaveDemocracy12311

What Trump’s daft, Fox GOP MAGA Cult fail to grasp is: for Trump’s lies to be true - that he’s innocent of the countless crimes for which he’s charged and/or accused - 34 Fraud counts, SA of Carol, Russian & Epstein ties, Pedophilia, SEDITION..1000s of Jurors, FBI/DOJ, judges, victims are all lying?

Hope ☄️ (NO DMS!)10

Epstein is getting to PEDOfuhrer'$ empty head. He's unraveling & it will get worse & more stupid memes will follow. 🤬🤷

I hope Colorado loses bobo. Only one stand up moment of courage does not make her smart or good for us in COLORADO.

He's a fucking pig. 🐷 #SexualAbuser And he smells bad too.

And the daughter he wanted to "date" stays silent. (Knowing the Chinese patents she got on coffins will eventually pay off.)

MTfromCC8

He’s going to experiencing a lot of losing very soon. Having a majority of a shrinking party won’t mean shit when America — ALL of America — rage votes against MAGA Republicans in November.

Mommytlc💙🌊🌊💙8

His maturity level is that of a toddler.

JeanSand - Keeping It Real7

These constant posts from a President is sickening. Trump & his MAGAts are the biggest HOAX ever. They're nothing more than bullying, immature, juvenile , social media addicts with no intention of being serious. They're the dumbest most unqualified people ever.

ANGEL - BadAss Resister6

Coming from Trump, loser is a compliment!

What happened to the dignity of the Presidency and the White House?

While I have learned a lot about narcissistic people, I'm sick of this shit. It's like being trapped in an insane asylum.

Trump thinks he’s untouchable. Hubris thy name is Trump.

Ecoprairiepainter5

Nice to know that he always has one eye on the Epstein files. He will never NOT worry about the outing of the horrific crimes he took part in during his association with Jeffery Epstein.

mrxexon5

The Epstein files are designed to keep your attention there instead of where it needs to be. Fighting the foreign controlled fascists who have infiltrated our government. Keep your eye on the prize, people...

anita72.bsky.social5

They're going to get the last laugh.

Knotabot5

That must mean that he raped kids. Jeez, he might just have well signed a confession.

SNaomi195

Hell, didn’t trump once push for the release of the epstein files?

SafeWaterCleanAir 💦☮️🌏🌍🌎5

The only ones I recognize are Greene and Boebert and I don’t think they’ve lost anything. Is the woman with tan skin supposed to be Nancy Mace? AI is nasty enough but when it’s shitty it’s really doubly bad.

Tin Miner5

D'ya get the feeling his fall is gonna be a big one...... when it finally comes!?! 🤔

Itsmevicki4

If Boebert is smart (yeah, I can't believe I just typed that out) she will start voting against him.

Colorado Crystal4

Opps... they forgot Nancy Mace

MagicalMerlin4

Who knows, they may be the new Republican Party after MAGA crashes and burns.😱

Wildcats, Reds, & Bernie Fan4

Hitler had a nice winning streak until he didn’t…

blueskyer124.bsky.social fuckin' bastard4

cuz they believe trump rapes children.....the truth will come, eventually, and all will know - trump isn't fighting the release this hard because he's an angel and guiltless...no way

DirkNiblick4

Christ, he can’t even use the “good” AI shit. I need labels to know who’s who there.

Like every corporate a**hole boss. Oppressive and condescending to the end.

themindfulnomad.bsky.social4

Trump did horrible things to children. It must be talked about more.

dh-web.bsky.social4

Trump has exposed that he has no interest in protecting the Republican party. His personal drive for power and retribution overrides any concern for ensuring the party even survives. He will even attack any Republican who fails to support any demented goal. He fails to grasp the benefit of "allies".

FergusthePug 🇨🇦 🔔🇺🇦4

Donald has nothing left upstairs but scrambled brains.

Elizabeth3

Yet Charlie Kirk is missing from that lineup. Why is that?

Inbtwnthedarkandthelight3

And we are still waiting for that release! 🤬 what happened to reading names Marge?! Come on Tuckems you big bad independent pod host now. Especially of those in government offices here!?! Heres a clue one of them their name starts with a t.One of these people knows someone who has them on an SSD.

realpatperez.bsky.social3

Trump is reflecting his own failures and incapable leadership of his pathetic, corrupt government and GOP.

moon1000.bsky.social3

Yet none of them actually did anything they said they would do to hold anyone accountable either.

Something happened to him as a child. This is not how an adult behaves.

In that regard, we’re alll losers

Our president is a middle school mean girl.

They all tongued his bung for how long, now they’re called losers. What a guy!!!!

DJM67, bscs, mba, spipc, ...lmnop2

...I think he might snap by the time we get to July. It actually might be better this way. The current speed of government errosion doesn't seem to be incentive enough for congress to actually "allocate revenue, oversee the executive branch, declare war, and represent the interests of constituents."

Ed2

Look at all the ways trump admits he is guilty......

Alan2

He really needs to be in an institution

hpanzironi2

Trump knows what he did and that in the end he’s going down. You can see it on his face & in everything he’s doing to kill the Epstein investigation. The people w/ the big bucks (who pull his strings) will throw him under the bus to save themselves & he knows that, too. Just like Epstein did.

Pere Jes2

It is an almost sure bet that the Epstein files have been scanned or copied. Why delay their release any longer when it only makes the Maga cult more convinced of trump's innocence. And in the meantime, more Maga candidates can win elections and become entrenched in the government. DO IT NOW.

SAM2

Trump admitting he’s a loser, like all republicans!

BREAKING: Fired AG Reveals Trump Coverup of His Potential Criminal Involvement with Former Bestie/Child Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Was Handled By...Trump's Personal Criminal Defense Lawyer Holy shit. And I say that as a former criminal defense lawyer.

90410d ago
Seth Abramson187

For those who miss the significance of this—I hardly know how that's possible—while Bondi is a Trump lawyer as well, Blanche is the man on Earth who knows the *most* about Trump's past crimes. That he's the *only man* Trump would trust with this coverup is basically a confession.

Ear-Rational20

Tell me more about these “Epstein Files”! I’m so distracted with the war in Iran and gas prices, the upcoming UFC fight at the White House, the Ballroom and the UFO’s, I almost forgot our President is an alleged criminal pedophile.

Dame of Destiny ❌👑 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇬🇱17

Bondi also needs to be indicted. She broke law after law, court order after count order. She was in charge. Miraculous that she announced she had cancer, bandage included, and that Trump found her a new position all within days of her scheduled testimony.

WCY14

Women like Pam Bondi are the reason other women struggle to get the help they need holding men like Donald Trump accountable

marrushap.bsky.social7

So what? Will this unsurprising revelation change anything?

LINDZEE7

What was the point of Bondi's testimony if she wasn't under oath? If you or I were called to testify before the committee, I don't think we would be granted that courtesy. She had no reason not to lie and to state that she wouldn't respond to questions about Trump.

OneOffAkind💫6

Bondi is guilty of the coverup as the AG of Florida when Epstein was first indicted. Right?🧐

Expatina4

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Chele Lea3

It gets better. Google AI lies about it, gaslights (its own wording) and states it did so because it was politically sensitive and said it doesn’t follow protocol and is dangerous to humans. They are attempting to change facts in real time. I’ve about twenty SS

12 Spoons 🇺🇦3

I was only following orders defense did not work at Nuremberg

Tin Knocker3

It's more like... trump acting like a mob boss of a crime family, has installed his consigliere as acting attorney general. 💁‍♂️

YvetteJR718☮️💙♋️ ♎️❌3

Bondi really is bitchy. She’ll throw ANYONE under the bus. The only exception (so far) is Trump. Who knows? Maybe if it’s between going to jail or telling the truth she’ll choose NO JAIL. I sincerely hope that’s the decision she makes. I don’t like her. I don’t think she’s a good person.

DoroSayNow2

Bondi was the AG. She must take responsibility for those under her.

This is the same nasty bitch who wouldn't even acknowledge the Epstein survivors. I truly believe she is completely evil and soulless. Cancer? Interesting. 💙 Concepts of thoughts and prayers.

When I was a PI I worked for a retired cop who said, “Look kid, you’re either working for or against the law. So, no, you can’t do a side job for your defense lawyer friend.” I guess those were the good old days. Defense attorneys running the show is just wrong.
