All right, we got some big news this afternoon. Attorney General Pam Bondi may be fired, but Congress is still pressuring and putting a lot of emphasis on making sure that she gets to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee concerning the Epstein files. Bondi may be gone, but accountability is still being pursued. Epstein survivors say that Attorney General Pam Bondi has failed us. And well, Pam Bondi won't be the last person fired by the Trump administration. Reports suggest that Tulsi Gabbard could potentially be next. And it all comes as one Republican is telling Americans, if you are worried about the rising costs, go get another job. It's that simple. Go get another job. All wow, the Justice Department has issued a new legal memo today suggesting that Donald Trump does not have to give back presidential records when he leaves office and Pete Hegseth essentially fired a senior army

official why unclear. Major developments right now is always make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe.

Independent media has really never been so important. Lots of news to cover. Let's break it down. This afternoon, a lot of you have asked me, well, Aaron, Pam Bondi's gone, but there is still a lawful congressional sub-pena. The sub-pena says she has to testify on April 14th. What does that mean for it? Well, the sub-pena is still lawful. The sub-pena is still bipartisan. And it actually doesn't matter whether or not the Pam Bondi is the Attorney General or a private citizen. She still has to comply with the sub-pena. And that's what ranking member Robert Garcia is saying. Well, Attorney General Pam Bondi has been leading a White House cover-up of the Epstein files. She has weaponized the Department of Justice to protect Trump and put survivors in harm's way. She will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our committee under oath. And while

one congressman, Congressman Molten, made clear that that's probably why or at least one of the reasons she was fired 12 days before her testimony was scheduled for. For specific about what's going on here, she was about to be deposed in the Epstein case. That's why Trump got rid of her. 12 days before that was supposed to happen. And he's put in place someone who did a sweetheart deal for him with regards to Epstein, the guy who went down and interviewed Jolaine Maxwell and got her out of a maximum security prison. Got her all sorts of favors that criminals like her are not afforded all because she's willing to do favors for the president of the United States and help cover up his biggest political liability. I mean, he's not necessarily that wrong. He's not wrong because right now the person coming into power is Donald Trump's personal lawyer, acting attorney general Todd Blanche. And today I do have a scoop, but survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Elaine Maxwell have released a statement saying that Pambondi has failed us. I'll read it to you because it may be

hard to read. The text is a little small here. Following use of Attorney General Pambondi's dismissal, coalition of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse and trafficking network released the following statement. Attorney General Pambondi failed survivors. Under her leadership, the Department of Justice mishandled the release of the Epstein files, leaving millions of pages with held from the public while serious redaction errors exposed survivors identities. These failures put survivors at risk, eroded trust and compounded the trauma we have lived with for years. We came forward with the courage and hope for justice, but under Attorney General Bondi's leadership, we were met with secrecy management and a failure to adequately protect our safety. Every step, every misstep by the Department of Justice has reminded us that this system often protects abusers, not victims. As new leadership takes the home at the Department of Justice, we stand ready to work together toward a more rigorous and transparent process moving forward. We are calling for meaningful transparency, accountability for past mistakes, and real protections for those who bravely come forward. Accountability should not depend on power, position, or influence.

And while Glanch also has a lot to answer for. Look, I'm glad that she is moving on from this position, but we've got to ensure that the truth with this investigation still gets out. What about Todd Blanch? She was the Deputy Attorney General, now the interim head of the DOJ. Do you expect him to appear before your committee with Espina? We absolutely want to hear from Todd Blanch. Look, Todd Blanch, by the way, was Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, I want to remind folks of that, and this is the same person that moved Galein Maxwell from a secure facility to this kind of, you know, club fed facility where she has roaming around, she's able to communicate, talk to pets, having secret meetings with God knows who, and so why Galein Maxwell was actually moved by Todd Blanch and by Pam Bondy, I think is a really important question. And Todd Blanch has a lot to answer for her because he also has been involved in the Epstein files and the way they've been released, and the files that have still yet to be sent to the public and to the Congress.

And so we want to hear from Todd Blanch, but right now, Pam Bondy has a real unique opportunity to come forward and give us the truth. She doesn't work for Donald Trump anymore. She's not going to be the attorney general. Let's get justice for the survivors and tell us exactly what's going on with the Epstein files. Now, in other news, Justice Department has issued a legal opinion arguing, arguing that President Donald Trump does not have to turn over his presidential records to national archives at the end of his administration. Presidential Records Act of 1978 requires presidential documents be sent to national archives and records. In an opinion released today, Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel found that the law is unconstitutional for two independent reasons, but interlocking reasons. Remember, Donald Trump was prosecuted for taking highly sensitive documents when he left office. Now, he can do that again and won't be prosecuted based on this new legal opinion. And why did he take those documents? Well, if you recall,

special counsel Jack Smith found that it was highly likely that Trump wanted to enrich himself in his business interests by taking these documents. So now, when Trump leaves office at the end of his next term, this term right here, he will be able to take more documents. And based on this opinion, he will not be able to be prosecuted for it. And he could very well use those documents for whatever he wants, including enriching himself and his family. And it kind of enrich me. Because a lot of Americans are feeling the pain of cost right now. If you want to know what to do, just listen to what this Congressman had to say. This goes on and on of all the things are gas tax automatically increases in New Jersey. And by the way, so do our tolls and our fees automatically increase all that now we're going to have on top of that. And I'm talking to my folks in New Jersey, my state, you better just keep breaking your back and working hard, maybe get yet another job. Maybe yet get another job. That's the message that Congressional Republicans have

for you folks. If you are worried about having to afford, worried about having to afford a home, your bills, whatever it may be, don't worry. It's all good. Just go and get another job.
