MAGA allies have been assailing the attorney general since the DOJ said a review "revealed no incriminating 'client list'" tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Trump administration is facing significant blowback from Democrats and MAGA supporters over its handling of the Epstein files.

When President Donald Trump searched for his top Cabinet secretaries, a flair for running a smooth governing machine was nowhere on the job description. So rising frustration among White House aides about chaos coming from the offices of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi seems a bit rich.

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.
