Pam Bondi Fights Pardon Amid Epstein Investigation

0:00It's April 3rd, I'm Cory with the story. This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Pam Bondi got fired as United States Attorney General by President Donald Trump on Thursday, April 2nd. Now the 60-year-old is reportedly pushing hard for a full presidential pardon to shield herself from a storm of investigations and lawsuits. Sources close to the situation say she's terrified, especially after losing Trump's protection. They point to her time handling the Jeffrey Epstein files at the Department of Justice in Florida, which left her vulnerable once the shield dropped. Lawmakers aren't letting up. In March, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed her for a deposition on April 14th about the Epstein investigation and transparency laws. Top Democrat Robert Garcia insists she can't dodge accountability and must show up under oath. Republican Nancy Mays, who pushed the subpoena, says it still stands specifically against Bondi, not just the AG role.
