Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Pam Bondi
Digest more
Donald Trump has grown weary of defending Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffery Epstein files and wants her to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess, according to four people familiar with White House deliberations.
Pam Bondi took office as Florida's first female attorney general in 2011. Epstein had gotten out of the Palm Beach County Jail two years earlier.
Bondi's announcement came after an explosive Wall Street Journal report on a birthday letter sent to Epstein in 2003.
In letters to DOJ and FBI officials, Durbin referenced Bondi's review of the Epstein files in February and March ahead of their promised release to the public.
