Pam Bondi Disappears From Fox News In Wake of Epstein Scandal
Attorney General Bondi Fox News in recent weeks, after having been everywhere in the network during the first months of the Trump administration, in recent months.
The last appearance of Bondi as a guest on Fox News was with Sean Hannity On June 30, a few days before his Doj and the FBI published a memo spouse conclusive that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and did not keep a “customer list”.
Bondi later found himself receiving a storm of anger from the Maga base, which had been provided by the president Donald TrumpBondi, and other members of the administration that the Epstein evidence “truck” would be made available to the public.
Bondi’s lack of Fox News appearsThe NCEs since the release of the note are particularly remarkable given its long history with the network and how much it appeared on the network beforehand.
In 2018, while being prosecutor general of Florida, Bondi co-organized Fox The five And was a regular commentator on the network for years, in particular following his representation of Trump during his first accusation trial and when he challenged the 2020 presidential election.
Bondi took the post of Attorney General on February 5 and in mid-April had made the network more than a dozen times. His appearances were so frequent that in March, this led to frustration among some of the Maga categories, which is already impaired for Epstein files.
“Furious Maga turns on Pam Bondi after an” unprecedented “number of appearances at Fox News”, read a title at the end of March, which followed Bondi releasing Epstein Files binders in Maga Influencers, who later criticized information as meaningless.
A possible explanation for the abandonment of Bondi abandoned its Fox air appearances can be found in some of the titles that the network made after the note of Memo Doj-Fbi.
“Bondi Under Siege after the DoJ does not reveal any list of Epstein customers,” read a title of July 7 on Fox News Digital, describing Maga’s anger intended for some of her past allegations, in particular by telling Fox News that she had the list of Epstein “on her desk.”
On July 12, Fox covered the dungeon between Bondi and the deputy director of the FBI Dan Bongino Under the title, “inside Dan Bongino’s tense meeting with White House officials on Jeffrey Epstein Fallout”. At the time, reports claimed that Bongino was ready to leave his role so Bondi remained in his. Trump, however, was held strongly behind Bondi, and the two have since stayed in their work with their spit which quickly fades from the news.
Bondi appeared briefly on Fox on July 18, but not as a guest. Fox joined Bondi and interior secretary Doug Burgum As they aimed at the island of Alcatraz in the middle of Trump, publicly calling the rotation of the prison, and it briefly spoke to the correspondent David Spunt During their visit.
Bondi still generates significant coverage on Fox News. Its announcement Thursday of a bonus of $ 50 million for the arrest of the Venezuelan president Nicolás MaduroFor example, was widely covered on the network, but unlike in previous months, Bondi was not personally put in the air to discuss this decision, even if it will undoubtedly be very popular with the Maga database.
Whether Bondi returns to Fox’s Air or not will be back or not will be something to monitor while the counterposter of the Epstein affair evaporates or continues to grasp a lot in the base of Maga.
