"Yet through it all, Trump paid no mind to the person who sat directly across from him: the attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi. Even with weighty Justice-relevant issues exploding across the country, Bondi sat silently through the entire 80-minute meeting. The next day, DOJ called a press conference to address the Epstein files, Minnesota, and other pressing matters; out to the podium walked deputy attorney general Todd Blanche without Bondi."
"In mid-November, Trump posted a demand on social media, addressed directly to Bondi, to investigate "Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions" for their connections to Epstein. Less than four hours later, the attorney general publicly responded that she had opened the requested inquiry and assigned it to the U.S. Attorney's Off"
At the White House Cabinet meeting, President Trump called on major agency chiefs and also gave mic time to second-tier bosses from Agriculture, Small Business, and Commerce, with notes about steel tariffs and Commerce emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi sat silently through the entire 80-minute meeting and did not appear at subsequent DOJ press events; Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spoke publicly in her stead. Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. President Trump publicly urged Bondi to investigate several prominent figures connected to Epstein, and Bondi said she opened an inquiry assigned to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
