Trump Justice Department cuts transgender grants, will use money to fund law enforcement

By Mary Margaret Olohan | Daily Wire WASHINGTON—The Department of Justice is taking funds that it formerly granted to groups supporting transgender ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and using these funds to support United States law enforcement, documents obtained by The Daily Wire show. The move is reflective of President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to weed out government use of taxpayer funding for woke or ideological purposes. That’s particularly significant in the Department of Justice, where, under President Joe Biden’s administration, Americans were targeted and investigated for practicing their faith, participating in peaceful pro-life protests, or pushing back against explicit gender ideology and sex education in schools. After news broke that ...

Pam Bondi reveals what the holdup is with Epstein file release

By Harold Hutchison | Daily Caller Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that the FBI is still reviewing “tens of thousands” of child porn videos that were in the possession of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein committed suicide while awaiting trial after he was arrested in 2019 on sex charges. Bondi was asked about the delay releasing the documents pertaining to Epstein by a reporter after announcing plans for a press conference Wednesday. “The FBI, they’re reviewing… there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims and no one victim will ever get released, it’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now,” Bondi said. “The FBI is diligently going through that… I’ll call him later.” READ THE...

Pam Bondi hosts first ‘Eradicating Anti-Christian bias task force’ meeting

By Roberto Wakerell-Cruz | The Post Millennial Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted the Trump administration’s first meeting for the Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Task Force on Tuesday.  "Together, this task force will identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government, seek input from faith-based organizations and state government to end anti-Christian bias, find and fix deficiencies in existing and regulatory practice that might contribute to the anti-Christian bias," Bondi said, also noting that the previous administration “abused and targeted Christians.” "As President Trump has stated, the Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses....

Bondi says she was misled on Epstein documents

By Elizabeth Crisp | The Hill Attorney General Pam Bondi was duped into thinking she had all the files related to investigations into disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she told Fox News host Mark Levin over the weekend while defending Thursday’s widely mocked document dump. “I kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more,” Bondi said Saturday. “I was assured that’s it.” Epstein, who hobnobbed with celebrities, royalty and other powerful people, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Pam Bondi says FBI lied to her about turning over all of the Epstein files

By  Ashe Schow | Daily Wire In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the bureau of lying to her about turning over its files on millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi sent the letter on Thursday, after she said she learned from a source Wednesday night that she hadn’t received all the Epstein files despite the FBI’s repeated assurances that she had. “Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein,” Bondi wrote to Patel, according to a copy of the letter posted to X by Michael Shellenberger. “In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.” R...

Attorney general nominee Bondi wants to end Department of Justice weaponization

By Matt Delaney  | The Washington Times Attorney general nominee Pam Bondi said she wants to end the political weaponization of the Justice Department that she argued has been rife during the current administration. In Wednesday’s confirmation hearing, Ms. Bondi told Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island Democrat, that she would apply the law fairly and would never craft an enemies list if approved for her position.

President-elect Trump announces Pam Bondi as his new pick for U.S. attorney general

By Greg Wehner  | Fox News President-elect Trump announced Thursday evening that he's nominating former attorney general of Florida Pam Bondi as the next attorney general of the United States. Trump's latest Cabinet pick replaces Matt Gaetz, the former Florida representative and nominee for attorney general, who on Thursday withdrew as Trump's pick for the top prosecutor after the "distraction" his nomination had caused due to a swirl of allegations about paying underage women for sex.  "Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families," Trump wrote in his announcement. "Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the...
