The replacement of sexual misconduct accused Matt Gaetz by Pam Bondi did not stop the detractors as skeletons of past scandals started tumbling out of the cupboard as soon as Bondi was said to be the new Attorney General pick after Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination. Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019 and represented Trump at his first impeachment trial in the Senate.
Democrats accused Pam Bondi of letting sex offender Jeffrey Epstein slide. “The same Pam Bodi who let Jeffrey Epstein slide,” Democrat strategist Ameshia Cross posted as Donald Trump named her as the attorney general heaping praises on her and spelling out her credentials.
“If you ever wonder how Jeffrey Epstein was able to walk the Earth unprosecuted and have all of his contacts sealed, look no farther than Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi is the reason Jeffrey Epstein, and all of his information is sealed in the state of Florida,” one post read.
No one in elective office shielded Jeffrey Epstein more than Pam Bondi.
“No one has taken more illegal trips, benefits and cash from conservative billionaires than Mrs. Bondi. No one has ever been elected that will sell out their constituents to line their pockets than Pam!” another wrote.
Author and investigative journalist Kirby Sommers pointed out that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush endorsing Pam Bondi is crucial as Jeb Bush was protecting Jeffrey Epstein.
Did Pam Bondi take a bribe from Donald Trump?
In 2013, Bondi’s office received complaints from people alleging they had been scammed by Donald Trump’s Trump University seminars. Florida did not pursue the case and Bondi’s political committee received a $25000 donation from Donald Trump’s foundation. At that time both Trump and Bondi denied any donation and link to that.
Bondi has a record of high-profile cases in her attorney general career. She helped appoint the special prosecutor who investigated the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black teen, by a neighborhood volunteer.
