"A 2010 New York Times investigation revealed Blumenthal had received at least five deferments from 1965 to 1970 before he joined the Reserves, where his duties included drills and local community projects. The report found he had sometimes falsely claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, an impression that had become part of his public image. Blumenthal later apologized, saying he regretted claiming he'd served in Vietnam rather than during it."
"There were a lot of people there that night. That's a great picture. I love that picture. That's a great picture. And there were a lot of people there that night. I think the entire Cabinet was there. I am not going to discuss any conversations I've had or not have with the president of the United States, she said."
Attorney General Pam Bondi confronted Senator Richard Blumenthal during a heated Senate Judiciary hearing over the indictment of former FBI director James Comey. Bondi refused to discuss private conversations with the president and deflected questions about whether Comey was discussed at a Cabinet dinner the night before the indictment became public. Blumenthal raised concerns about potential political pressure and urged support for reforms to prevent DOJ weaponization. Bondi responded by attacking Blumenthal's past misrepresentations of his military service, referencing a 2010 New York Times investigation that detailed deferments and false Vietnam veteran claims and noting his apology.
