"A network spokesperson told Mediaite Friday that the network stands by its reporting on the portrait after MS NOW reporter Ken Dilanian exclusively obtained a photo showing Bondi's portrait in a garbage can, reportedly taken from inside DOJ offices, just one day after her ouster."
"Current and former DOJ officials said it's a reflection of how deeply unpopular Bondi was, Dilanian wrote, who also tweeted out the image."
"Notably, the portrait in Dilanian's image appears to be different from the one in the DOJ's rebuttal, which contains no mounting board."
"In subsequent interviews, he added, Bondi said she personally removed the portraits, framing the episode as indicative of what she described as a broader cultural bias within the department."
MS NOW defended its report on Pam Bondi's portrait found in a trash can after her firing by President Trump. The network's spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the photo obtained by reporter Ken Dilanian. Current and former DOJ officials indicated Bondi's unpopularity, which was reflected in the incident. The DOJ responded by labeling the report as fake news, presenting a different portrait as real news. Bondi's actions during her tenure, including demoting an official over displayed portraits, were also highlighted.
