Does the Attorney General Represent the People or the President?
Briefly

Pam Bondi serves as Attorney General in alignment with Donald Trump's agenda while facing challenges regarding her handling of Jeffrey Epstein's client list. Initially affirming the existence of such a list, the Department of Justice later denied it. Bondi, who has a background in television and legal prowess, has been in Trump's orbit since the mid-2000s but was previously considered less significant. Despite opposition, Trump has continued to support her, indicating a complex relationship between the pair.
In February, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, told Fox News that Jeffrey Epstein's client list was sitting on her desk. By July, the Department of Justice had declared that no such list exists.
You know, she looks like Barbie. She's blond and beautiful, and I think people will underestimate her because of how she looks. But she's got nerves of steel.
Bondi, a Florida-born prosecutor with a talent for television polemics, has known Trump since the mid-two-thousands. And yet she was not given a prominent role in his first Administration.
This time around, she was Trump's second choice for Attorney General, behind the disgraced former congressman Matt Gaetz.
