President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi over the weekend amid criticism from some in his base over a memo about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, writing on Truth Social that Bondi is doing “a FANTASTIC JOB” in her role.

President Trump is backing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, saying she “should release” whatever evidence she believes is credible. NBC News Senior Political Reporter Jonathan Allen joins Chris Jansing to report on the latest details.

A petition calling for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to resign now has more than 29,000 signatures in the wake of the backlash to how she and the Donald Trump administration have handled the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump defended Bondi in a social media post Saturday as leadership at the Justice Department and the FBI face turmoil over its handling of the Epstein probe. Trump praised Bondi for doing a "fantastic job" and urged his "boys" and "gals" to stop criticizing her.

Donald Trump said his team “gets along with each other” and “loves each other.” There's evidence to the contrary. Take Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino, for example.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired several Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who worked with former special counsel Jack Smith on two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump 's possession of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Reuters reported on Friday.

The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files flap is cascading, further roiling a Justice Department and FBI that have struggled for months to appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities and influential members of President Donald Trump’s base.
