Trump defends US Attorney General Pam Bondi over Epstein files

President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi amid backlash from his supporters over a recent memo on the Jeffrey Epstein case. Critics, including prominent conservatives like Elon Musk and Laura Loomer, accused Bondi of withholding information, especially after the memo stated there was no incriminating client list or blackmail evidence. Trump urged supporters to "let Pam Bondi do her job" and not focus on Epstein, the BBC has reported. The controversy has sparked internal tensions, including a reported clash between FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Bondi, and growing dissatisfaction over the handling of the Epstein investigation.
