Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) claimed Thursday that President Trump's firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi was motivated by a desire to block her from giving testimony in the House investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Interesting timing, eh?
“She was about to be deposed in the Epstein case,” Moulton said in an interview with MS NOW’s Chris Jansing. “That’s why Trump got rid of her 12 days before that was supposed to happen.”
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top democrat on the panel, said Thursday that Bondi is still “legally obligated” to appear for her April 14 deposition date.
When asked whether Garcia could still count on Bondi's testimony, Moulton said they would likely attempt to hold her legally accountable, but acknowledged that the current administration has shown little regard for legal accountability. The Massachusetts Democrat went on to say that he anticipates Trump will go to great lengths to prevent Bondi from testifying, as doing so could prove damaging to her reputation.
Moulton noted Blanche’s role in the Epstein case, and his background is raising serious red flags right now.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Bondi asked Trump if she could keep her job until the summer. "The president declined," the outlet reports.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has consistently pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein Files, fired a warning shot to Blanche:
Blanche told Fox News's Jesse Watters on Thursday night, "To the extent the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this justice department, it should not be a part of anything going forward." So, case closed! That doesn't look suspicious at all.
