"State of play: Bondi on Tuesday, avoiding specifics, said Comey was indicted by "one of the most liberal grand juries in the country." Comey was indicted last month in Virginia federal court and charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing its investigation of the Russia probe. Zoom in: Bondi told Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) she would not discuss conversations she had with Trump about Comey's indictment. Bondi and Trump met for dinner at the White House the night before the indictment."
"Between the lines: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) also asked Bondi who ordered her to flag Epstein records related to President Trump. "I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you, senator," Bondi said. Durbin responded: "Eventually you're going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." What we're watching: Democratic lawmakers repeatedly raised reported allegations that Trump border czar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe from an FBI agent last year."
Bondi responded combatively to Democratic lawmakers' questions and declined to discuss whether the White House directed investigations. She said Comey was indicted by "one of the most liberal grand juries in the country," declined to detail conversations with Trump about the indictment, and noted she met Trump the night before. Bondi redirected questions about the Epstein probe toward Democrats, asked whether others had been questioned, and raised ties to Reid Hoffman. She refused to explain who flagged Epstein records tied to Trump. Lawmakers raised an allegation that Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe; Bondi said DOJ found no evidence but would not say if the cash was returned.
