The game is up for Pam Bondi. Her carefully constructed defence over the Epstein files has unravelled under the cold light of congressional questioning. Sources close to the committee tell me the former Florida Attorney General’s testimony was riddled with contradictions.
She claimed ignorance of key documents, but leaked emails suggest otherwise. The timing is brutal for Bondi. She’s seen as a potential Trump running mate.
Now this. The Epstein file has always been a political third rail. Touching it ends careers.
Bondi thought she could sidestep the fallout. She was wrong. Democratic staffers are already sharpening their knives.
One senior Hill aide called it “a textbook perjury trap.” The question is whether Bondi’s story will hold. I’m told it won’t.
The backbench is buzzing. Even some Republicans are distancing themselves. The whips are nervous.
This story has legs. It will dominate the news cycle for days. Bondi’s camp is in damage control.
But the damage is done. The Epstein file never stays buried. Neither do those who try to bury it.
