Moulton: Trump ‘got rid’ of Bondi 12 days before Epstein deposition

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) suggested Thursday that President Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi in order to prevent her from testifying in the House probe related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“She was about to be deposed in the Epstein case,” Moulton said in an interview with MS NOW’s Chris Jansing. “That’s why Trump got rid of her 12 days before that was supposed to happen.” 

President Trump announced earlier Thursday on Truth Social that Bondi would be transitioning to a new job in the private sector. He thanked the former top prosecutor for doing a “tremendous job” in the role during her tenure.

Trump added that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, also one of his former personal lawyers, would lead the Justice Department (DOJ) in the interim.

Bondi has sustained criticism from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress for her handling of the administration’s investigation into Epstein and the DOJ’s release of files tied to the disgraced financier — which include correspondence between Epstein and a slew of high-ranking political figures.
