Bondi Won’t “Get in the Gutter” on Epstein Victims
Summary
What does Attorney General Pam Bondi's refusal to confront Epstein survivors reveal about accountability at the highest levels of government?
On this hard-hitting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara examines the national embarrassment of Attorney General Pam Bondi's congressional hearing, where she dismissed victims of Jeffrey Epstein by declaring she would not "get in the gutter" with them, pivoted to stock market gains, and clashed with lawmakers over redactions protecting influential names while exposing survivor identities. The episode features Tara's guest appearance on Nicolle Wallace's Deadline: White House, where she joins the panel to break down the stonewalling, survivor testimonies, bipartisan frustration, and what the hearing signals about the administration's handling of the Epstein files.
How should Congress respond when the Justice Department turns its back on victims of one of the largest sex trafficking operations in American history?
