The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Bondi dismantled Democrats' Epstein grandstanding by exposing their hypocrisy: Trump signed the law releasing 3 million pages of documents while Obama and Biden's DOJ sat on them for years. Democrats never questioned former Attorney General Merrick Garland about Epstein once during four years, yet now feign outrage purely to attack Trump. These lawmakers are more interested in attacking Trump than cracking down on crime and public safety issues in their own districts.
Anti-Trump narrative
Bondi's testimony was as disastrous as her time as attorney general. She lied under oath by claiming no evidence exists of Trump's wrongdoing in Epstein files when multiple documents suggest otherwise. During its document dump, the DOJ missed statutory deadlines, buried powerful names with excessive redactions while exposing victims, and has charged zero men despite over 1,000 acknowledged trafficking victims. She has turned the DOJ into Trump's revenge instrument.
