Bondi shares updates on recent DOJ successes and Upcoming Epstein file release

Here’s a summary of the conversation between Jesse and Attorney General Pam Bondi:

The discussion begins with Jesse congratulating Pam Bondi on her confirmation as Attorney General, marking their first in-person interaction after previous text exchanges. They then discuss a recent cabinet meeting following an hour-long press conference with President Donald Trump, where he fielded numerous questions from the media. After the press left, the cabinet got to work, with Trump asking department heads for updates. Bondi highlights the close-knit nature of the cabinet, emphasizing their frequent communication and teamwork under Trump’s leadership to "make America great again."

Bondi shares updates on recent DOJ successes, including two major drug busts: hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine seized in Wyoming and 100 pounds in Arkansas, both laced with fentanyl, underscoring their efforts to combat deadly drug trafficking. She also addresses the Epstein files, revealing plans to release information, including flight logs and names, as early as the next day (Thursday, February 27, 2025), while ensuring over 250 victims’ identities remain protected.

When asked about a rumored investigation into James Comey regarding alleged "honeypots" aimed at Trump in 2015-2016, Bondi denies knowledge of it, noting it’s based on a Washington Times report she’s unfamiliar with. The conversation shifts to DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which Bondi says is tackling widespread waste, fraud, and abuse across federal agencies. She cites an example involving the Treasury, where a judge ruled that only career bureaucrats—not the appointed Secretary—could control payments, illustrating the entrenched resistance they face. Bondi vows to fight such cases up to the Supreme Court and hold accountable those misusing funds.

She describes instances of bureaucratic sabotage, like DOGE employees being locked out of USAID, but asserts that such resistance is being overcome under Trump’s directive to end federal waste. Within the DOJ, Bondi acknowledges past sabotage but says they’re wiser now, distinguishing between good and bad actors. She emphasizes that most DOJ and FBI personnel are dedicated to fighting crime—such as meth and fentanyl dealers and cartels—rather than being weaponized for political purposes like the Mar-a-Lago raid, which she declares “over.”

The interview wraps up with Bondi preparing for a busy day ahead, including the Epstein file release, and Jesse teasing a future segment on Ukraine’s spending of U.S. funds. Bondi expresses gratitude and determination to keep the country safe.
