Blanche, whom Trump plans to nominate to replace ex-attorney general, served as Bondi’s deputy at DoJ

Former attorney general Pam Bondi told lawmakers that Todd Blanche, the man Donald Trump has lined up to replace her, was “in charge” of the US Department of Justice’s controversial handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Appearing before the House oversight and reform committee, which is investigating the late financier and convicted sex offender, Bondi also said she was “not certain of the extent” that Trump knew about the crimes of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Epstein who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking crimes, before they became public.

Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, claimed in a statement on Thursday that Trump had been “totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein” when contacted for comment on Bondi’s testimony.

    And she’s lying. Because always blame your successor. Or predecessor (Biden). Classic bullshit.

    Doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything shitty. Guaranteed he did. But so did she, and she’ll lie until the day she dies.

    I love how hard she’s trying to pass that buck. Good luck with that Cancer Barbie - I don’t think the Orange Jackass is going to come to your rescue.

    Spineless self absorbed human being. This person should be ostracized from society as all of them should be.

      My bf lives right by Harry Truman’s home and his presidential library.

      There is a big mural that says “The buck stops here.”

      Located right in Trump Country, Missouri.

    Donald John Trump violently raped children for fun and financial gain with his long time buddy Jeffrey Epstein. There’s no fucking doubt about that, and all the proof is read between the lines [lies] of everything these moron pedophile protectors spew out of their face buttholes. Fuck all of these idiotic piles of shit straight to hell.
