Trump Defends Pam Bondi Amid Epstein Scandal, Riling MAGA Supporters and Democrats Alike

MAGA supporters are outraged at President Donald Trump's defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi amidst fallout over newly released Jeffrey Epstein files, which suggest her Department of Justice may have known about the financier's alleged wrongdoing before his death. The controversy has sparked widespread criticism of Trump, who has been accused of defending a close ally and shielding her from accountability. Trump's comments have been seen as a last-ditch effort to protect Bondi's reputation and deflect scrutiny.
