The writing has been on the wall for months for Pam Bondi, Trump’s attorney general, who was unceremoniously fired on Thursday after 14 months leading the justice department. Pam Bondi was there. Under Bondi’s tenure, the justice department, once an institution fiercely defensive of its independence, became a tool for the president’s political whims. If the idea was to try to shed some of the liabilities of the Epstein scandal by firing Bondi, the move seems likely to backfire. It is that person, not Pam Bondi, who entangled Donald Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
