It is easy to understand now why President Donald Trump chose Pam Bondi to be the U.S. Attorney General after he won the elections in 2024.
He needed someone he could trust in to keep the dark secrets of Jeffrey Epstein hidden, and protect himself and his billionaire buddies from the evidence in the hands of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Pam Bondi was the Attorney General in Florida from 2011 through 2019, where she had experience in covering up Epstein’s crimes from his sweetheart deal in 2008 in the State of Florida.

She also refused to bring justice to Epstein’s victims when they went public in November 2018, as published by the Miami Herald.
This led to Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in 2019 in New York, where he allegedly committed suicide.
This trial should have led Bondi, the Attorney General in Florida, to go back to the 2008 case in Florida and start prosecuting those who protected Epstein, based on the testimony of the victims.
But she did NOTHING!
Here is a report published by Bloomberg in July of 2025.
Bondi Has Been Failing Epstein’s Victims for Years
She built her brand on protecting survivors. But when it came to Florida’s most notorious sex criminal, she looked the other way.
Excerpts:
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s decision to withhold the Department of Justice’s records on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein may have put her in the crosshairs of the MAGA universe this month, but Bondi dropped the ball on investigating Epstein and his sex trafficking co-conspirators long ago.
As Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, Bondi was the state’s top prosecutor as lawsuits piled up from Epstein’s victims challenging the secret plea deal that state and federal officials negotiated in 2008.
The prosecutors not only allowed Epstein and four of his co-conspirators to be immunized from further prosecution for sexually exploiting women and girls, courts concluded they also illegally hid the agreement from the victims so they couldn’t protest the deal in court.
Bondi was elected after Epstein had served his sentence in Palm Beach and quickly tried to establish her office as an advocate for victims of sex trafficking, erecting billboards across the state to bring awareness to the issue, creating the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking and, in her last months in office, announcing a criminal investigation into allegations of past sex abuse by Catholic priests in Florida.
But Bondi kept her distance from the state’s most prominent sex-trafficking case, even as Epstein’s victims pleaded with the courts to invalidate provisions of his non-prosecution agreement and filed lawsuits alleging he abused them when he was on work release from jail.
She may have mastered the press conference, but when it came to powerful millionaires with friends in high places, Bondi’s record was pitiful.
In November 2018, the Miami Herald released its investigative series on Epstein, “Perversion of Justice,” and exposed the details of the government’s decision to allow Epstein to bypass federal charges.
The reporting also revealed, for the first time, the horrifying stories of many of his victims.
Instead of suggesting the state get to the truth, Bondi remained conspicuously silent.
Her inaction helped to perpetuate what victims describe as a government cover-up that, along with Epstein’s death, has robbed those victims of their chance to get answers and hold their abusers to account.
When Bondi took the top job in the Justice Department under President Donald Trump, she got a second chance to rectify the damage. She could have announced a sweeping internal probe, released the DOJ files in a show of transparency, and revamped the agency so this kind of miscarriage of justice wouldn’t occur again.
Instead, she botched it. She again leaned into public relations rather than substance, going on Fox News in February to boast that Epstein’s “client list” was “sitting on my desk.”
She had long capitalized on the MAGA world’s obsession with the records, telling Sean Hannity in January 2024 that the files “should have come out a long time ago,” and blaming it on a “two-tiered justice system.”
If Bondi believed any of that, she didn’t act on it.
She destroyed every last ounce of independence her office might have had when she went to the White House in May and warned Trump that his name appeared in the Epstein files.
Her credibility with Trump’s base tanked further when she and FBI Director Kash Patel — who had also stoked Epstein conspiracy theories for years — concluded that they had “found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials.”
To add salt to the victims’ wounds, they also alleged:
“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
