Megyn Kelly is aggressively criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi, speculating that she won’t be in her role much longer after the mess she made handling the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“Her days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration,” Kelly said on her show, as frustration continues to grow inside the movement over how Bondi handled the Epstein files.
Back in February, Bondi claimed Epstein’s client list was “sitting on her desk.” But this week, she reversed course and said there is no list and the case is now closed. That didn’t sit well with Kelly, who pointed out how MAGA influencers, including Trump loyalists, posed for photos with binders they said held explosive information.
“Pam Bondi knew she was about to embarrass some of his most loyal surrogates out there, and did that willingly, or she didn’t take the time to make sure what was in those binders,” Kelly said. “It was all publicly released information that had already been out there… She was too lazy to actually figure out none of this is new, and yet she called a meeting with the influencers that included Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, and the sitting vice president.”
Then Kelly called out the finger-pointing.
“She didn’t know. It was the sleazy FBI who had withheld the real documents from her,” Kelly said, mocking Bondi’s excuse. “She was going to get to the bottom of it. Then she said further release would come. One did not come. Then she was caught on tape saying there are tens of thousands of kiddie porn or child pornography material that we found, which again, is like, a third issue over here. And next thing we know there’s no there there.”
Even with all the drama, Kelly said she doesn’t believe there’s a grand conspiracy.
“I believe it’s government incompetence as opposed to big government machinations against us,” she said, “but in this case, I don’t know what’s happening. Bondi has confused me. I don’t know what she’s doing.”
In Kelly’s view, that confusion is why Bondi is on her way out.
“If you look at conservative Twitter, she’s right in the crosshairs,” Kelly said.
President Donald Trump held his sixth Cabinet meeting of this year and addressed several major topics, particularly his administration’s response to the devastating flooding in Texas.
After delivering brief remarks, Trump took a few questions from reporters in the room. Several of the initial questions were about the “Big Beautiful Bill,” the war between Russia and Ukraine, the recent U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear facility, and the deadly flooding in Texas.
But things heated up when a reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi about the Department of Justice issuing a statement claiming there was no proof that the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein retained a “client list” or was killed. The memo said investigators found “no incriminating ‘client list’” and “no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.”
A reporter asked, “Could you say why there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape on the night of his death?”
Bondi responded, “In February, I did an interview on FOX. It been getting a lot of attention because I said — I was asked a question about the client list. My response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed. Meaning the file along with the J.F.K. And M.L.K. Files. That’s what I meant.”
“The minute missing from the video, we released the video showing … the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide,” she added.
