Gavin Newsom has coined a pungent new nickname for palm bondi On refusing to answer questions about chairman Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein,
Democrats then called “pedophile-protector Pam” Attorney General Refused to answer questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday about whether Epstein was a convicted sex offender Photos of Trump with “semi-nude young women”.
“So much for the ‘most transparent’ administration,” Newsom’s official press office wrote alongside a clip of Bondi being interrogated by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on X. “Pedophile-protector Pam is still refusing to answer questions – and still hiding the Epstein files.”
Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, asked Bondy about “the public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein showed the public photos of President Trump with semi-nude young women,” According to CBS News.
“You know, Sen. Whitehouse? You sit here and once again make nasty comments, trying to defame President Trump left and right, while you’re the guy who was taking money from one of Epstein’s closest confidants,” Bondi said, referring to tech entrepreneur Reid Hoffman, who has said he has been accused of his contacts with Epstein, according to CBS. Have regrets.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. on independent Wednesday.
Bondi, 59, had previously promised to release the so-called Epstein files, which included an alleged list of powerful people on the disgraced financier’s “client list”, which She claimed she was “sitting at her desk.”
However, she has now backtracked on her stance and is now claiming that the client list never existed. Earlier this year, the Justice Department and the FBI issued a memo saying no further information would be shared about Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019.
Newsom, 57, a vocal critic of Trump, previously said he believed Bondi blocked the release of the Epstein files under Trump’s direction, According to the Daily Beast.
In July, Newsom told reporter Marco Foster, “Pam Bondi would not have moved forward without Trump. If she is fired, she is the fall guy because there is no doubt that Trump directed her to say what she said. Why was she told not to release the files?”
While the Trump administration claims to be the most “transparent”, as Newsom said, it has made clear efforts to delay the release of the Epstein files, Bondy’s testimony is the latest example of the administration’s efforts to block their release.
Earlier this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed swearing in a recently elected Democratic House member, Arizona Representative Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election to replace her father.
Grijalva would likely be the last significant vote needed to force a vote on releasing the files, Spectrum News reported.
On Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote, “The transparency I promised is being provided by this FBI,” but added a community note saying the administration has not yet released the Epstein files.
Newsom has also gone all out in relentlessly trolling the president and his administration — even directing his official social media accounts to mock Trump’s online writing style.
He has also used similar alliterative jokes to go after Trump, including in September, when he mocked Trump’s new rose garden patio at the Ax, calling it a “predator patio.”
Recently, Newsom hit out at Trump’s claim that an insurrection is taking place in Portland, Oregon, by sharing photos of the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, on social media.
