Attorney General Pam Bondi deflected several questions on Tuesday when asked about the firestorm surrounding the Department of Justice and FBI 's Jeffrey Epstein memo released last week.

The Justice Department on Monday defended prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell — as US Attorney General Pam Bondi faces a brewing firestorm over files related to the notorious pedophile.

Pam Bondi is an American politician, attorney and lobbyist, currently serving as the 87th United States Attorney General since 2025.

Ghislaine Maxwell filed a Supreme Court appeal arguing she should be covered by Jeffrey Epstein's controversial plea deal.

Pam Bondi, the United States Attorney General, faces scrutiny. This is regarding her comments on the Jeffrey Epstein case. Calls for her resignation are growing. People are discussing potential replacements.

The Trump administration had hoped that that statement would be the final word on the saga, with Trump chiding a reporter who asked Bondi about the Epstein case at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

The president’s handling of the Epstein case has roiled his political base after top Justice Department officials reneged on commitments to release investigation files. The rift threatens to alienate supporters who have clamored for the documents.
