Trump Backs Bondi Amid Criticism Over Handling of Epstein Files: ‘Let Pam Bondi Do Her Job’
by Elizabeth Weibel, Breitbart.com, July 12, 2025
President Donald Trump cast his support behind Attorney General Pam Bondi amid reports of feuding between her and other members of the Trump administration over Bondi’s handling of files relating to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump questioned what was “going on” with people “going after” Bondi, adding that she has been “doing a FANTASTIC JOB.” Trump continued to question why people were “giving publicity to Files written by” former President Barack Obama, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among others, and asked why the Democrats didn’t release the Epstein Files.
Trump Message on Truth Social:
The reports of feuding between Bongino and Bondi come in the aftermath of the DOJ and FBI releasing a memo that found that there was no evidence Epstein had a so-called client list, and that an investigation had concluded that Epstein had committed suicide.

During a cabinet meeting, a reporter questioned Bondi about the findings on the Epstein case and about why a minute was missing from the “jail house tape on the night” that Epstein died.
Trump interjected and questioned if the reporter was “still talking about” Epstein and pointed out that there were more important things happening, such as the recent devasting flash-flooding in Texas.
“I mean, I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration,” Trump added.
Bondi proceeded to answer the question by explaining that during an interview in February, she had been asked about Epstein’s alleged client list, and that when she said it was “sitting” on her desk for her to review, she had been talking about the file relating to Epstein.
“First, to back up on that, in February, I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because I said…I was asked a question about the client list and my response was, ‘It’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed,’ meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well,” Bondi answered. “Also, to the tens of thousands of video, they turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein. Child porn is what they were, never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.”
