Attorney General Pam Bondi became angry and refused to answer questions from Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) when it came to whether foreign influence is affecting decisions being made by President Donald Trump.
His questioning stemmed from the dinner Trump had for the top holders of the Trump coin.
"I know you avoided the same question on the house side," Merkley pressed, "but what we know is that many folks who attended this dinner were buying those claims because they wanted to influence policy."
The senator went on to list suspicious foreign characters who were at the dinner. "This solicitation of investments in his personal product led to many people from foreign countries attending the dinner. Don't you think the American people have a right to know? You said yourself you're very concerned about foreign influence on our government?"
"Senator, it's wildly offensive that you would accuse President Trump of not protecting American interests in our country," Bondi deflected later, adding the topic is not what she is there to talk about, "we are here to talk about the budget."
"Will you appoint a special investigator to make sure that foreign influence does not affect the policies of the United States of America?" Merkley asked.
"I'm not going to tell you what I will or will not do," Bondi said, appearing offended, "other than I will do everything to keep the people of your state safe even though you don't want to talk about anything to do with your state because of the crime in your state."
Bondi then attacked the senator for the crime happening in his home state.
Merkley kept his cool and continued to press Bondi on Trump's Crypto dealings. Bondi responded in a shrieking tone as she deflected to the crime in Oregon again.
Bondi also called Merkley's line of questioning "gotcha questions."
"The attorney general certainly has made the point that she's very concerned about issues I'm concerned about as well regarding the security of the country," Merkley said. "But let the record know in terms of foreign influence of the sale of foreign influence she absolutely refuses to respond and instead turns to a whole list of different topics."

Pam Bondi, who is being investigated in her home state of Florida for ethics violations, might be the biggest piece of shit we have ever had in the Attorney General's position.
Always so wrong, the biggest piece of shit was Holder, but that aside, the Complaint against Bondi was dismissed and laughed at by the florida bar. after a whole .............5 days, these Lawyers are idiots who just won't learn, probably Ambulance chasers who don't practice law and think writing angry letters is all it takes.
Tell us again how democrats don't commit lawfare, to Californians filing ethics complaints in Florida, nothing but pieces of lawfare crap. and these stupid (cough, cough) attorneys are just too dumb to learn, how many more times do you think the Florida bar will have to tell "democrat" lawyers to FO?
like Matt Gaetz , Trumps first AG selection...?
Snort ...
If you lack the ability to dispute the facts, attack the source, this is a losing strategy, Well done.
to quote Luke Skywalker.....Everything you just said was wrong.
well, at least i’m inconsistent
There's something you never do ... NYT come to mind? ... @!@ ... try a reliable source next time and not one born just to oil overtly partisan pipsqueaks.
How about CNN, ABC, NBC, and MSNBC?
Pam Bondi is currently facing renewed scrutiny over alleged ethics violations, but she is not under an active investigation by the Florida Bar at this time.
A coalition of about 70 legal professionals—including law professors, attorneys, and former Florida Supreme Court justices—recently filed a third ethics complaint against her with the Florida Bar. They accuse Bondi of “serious professional misconduct” in her role as U.S. Attorney General, particularly for allegedly pressuring DOJ lawyers to act unethically in politically sensitive cases2.
However, the Florida Bar has previously dismissed two similar complaints from this group, citing jurisdictional limitations. The Bar has stated it does not investigate sitting federal officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office.
So while the accusations are serious and have sparked political debate, there’s no formal investigation underway—at least not from the Florida Bar. Let me know if you’d like a breakdown of the specific allegations or the legal standards involved.

In other words she is currently benefiting from a technicality.
In other words, you lied and got caught and are now deflecting.
So what is being investigated for? She has been totally vetted and confirmed. She's a strong woman who won't allow democrats to bully her. Lots of libs can't deal with that. Your descriptions are over the top and inaccurate as always.
I can't stand listening to her. Do you think she believes the words coming out of her own mouth?
She is corrupt as hell herself, so no.
I find it massively offensive that she is sitting there lying thru her teeth about trmp. I find it outrageously offensive that he can sell these coins to foreign entities and claim that he is not being pandered to
It is beyond ridiculous, but Biden, but Hunter !
No fcln comparison. Throw in his Tik Tok fli[p flop after meeting with the owner and all Bondi oughta pop a boner
The only qualification to sit on his Cabinet is to heap praise upon him. To a person, every comment is prefaced by farcical fawning and it is simply disgusting. None are worthy of the position and those supposed gatekeepers in the Senate are worse still, serving only as enablers…as this administration runs roughshod over all established standards and any ethical principles.
What about.....
all the foreign investment in the Clinton Foundation Slush Fund for future favors? And what about the Biden administration demanded from Ukraine and more recently, China? Influence peddling at the max. And heaven only knows how many "gifts" and favors Obama accepted.
Exactly, like that luxury 747 the he accepted from Qtar..... Oh wait, that was trump.

'Stephen Miller is basically bullying Pam Bondi' to consolidate power: insider
Tom Boggioni 2-3 minutes 6/25/2025
According to multiple high-ranking former federal law enforcement officials, the Department of Homeland Security –– at the White House's direction –– is doing all it can to consolidate power at the expense of other departments which are being pulled off of their central missions.
In interviews with NOTUS, former FBI, DEA and ATF officials claim that Attorney General Pam Bondi has become subordinate to senior Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller and his demands to round up more and more immigrants.
According to those interviewed, they see an alarming trend developing.
"People who formerly worked at the agencies told NOTUS they see the coalescing of power at DHS as a way for Trump to cement his grip over law enforcement," the report states with one former FBI official explaining, "If you consolidate it, you only have to rely on one set of loyalists instead of 30."
One former ATF agent recalled, "We would get calls needing 20 people tomorrow , which sounds like nothing for ICE, but that’s like an entire field office. You would need to assign every special agent in a region to cover the ICE stuff. So then, no one is doing gun investigations.”
"Trump’s distrust of DOJ, which exploded during the criminal investigations into his conduct in 2021, has helped marginalize the department as he strengthens DHS, which in some ways has broader search and surveillance legal authorities," Jose Pagliery of NOTUS is reporting.
One ex-high-ranking FDEA official summed up what is transpiring by bluntly stating, "The issue is that Stephen Miller is basically bullying Pam Bondi. The DOJ has been weakened. She’s supposed to be the number one law enforcement officer in the United States. Stephen Miller is running around her in circles."
‘According to multiple high-ranking former federal law enforcement officials’
In other words….’we gotta make up shit to look like we have credibility’
