The former President issued a strong statement following Pam Bondi’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Epstein files, characterizing her performance as “fantastic” despite what he described as relentless attacks.
He asserted that Bondi’s appearance definitively proved his exoneration from accusations mirroring the “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative, claiming the true culpability lay with “SLIMEBALL Democrats” – many of whom he identified as significant donors and political figures.
The statement didn’t stop there. A pointed rebuke was directed at Congressman Thomas Massie, the sole Republican who pressed Bondi during the hearing, labeling him a “Loser” and comparing his current standing to that of Liz Cheney.
According to the released statement, Bondi faced “intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics” while successfully defending against inquiries into the Epstein case, ultimately reinforcing the narrative of political motivation behind the scrutiny.
However, observers noted a stark contrast between Bondi’s approach and that of the former President. While Trump often thrives under pressure, Bondi appeared visibly shaken and defensive throughout the five-hour hearing.
Democrats skillfully leveraged the presence of Epstein’s victims, repeatedly questioning Bondi about alleged protection of individuals involved in the abuse. Bondi responded with attacks on Democrats and boasts of the previous administration’s economic achievements, but her efforts felt strained.
A particularly heated exchange with Congressman Massie saw Bondi accusing him of “Trump derangement syndrome” and dismissing him as a “failed politician” and a “hypocrite” when challenged on the redaction of names within the Epstein files – including those of prominent figures like Les Wexner.
The hearing ultimately provided Democrats with a wealth of material for future campaigns, hours of footage and soundbites highlighting Bondi’s defensive posture and perceived failures to address critical questions surrounding the Epstein case.
While the former President framed the event as a victory and a vindication, many saw Bondi’s testimony as a damaging spectacle, offering little in the way of substantive answers and fueling further scrutiny of the handling of the Epstein investigation.
