Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) argued Friday in no uncertain terms on MS NOW that the new release of Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files proves that Attorney General Pam Bondi lied to the American people — and separately threatened both Bondi and another Justice Department official with impeachment.

"So the survivors themselves have illuminated the problem, in their view," anchor Nicolle Wallace said. "With that approach, some of what is in the files are their 302s, their interviews with the FBI. Is it your understanding that the survivors themselves have not been contacted about their own 302s, if they've been released?"

President Donald Trump declined to take questions just hours after an attorney with the Department of Justice said that the administration would defy a law requiring all of the files on Jeffrey Epstein to be released by the end of the day.

Trump ended a Friday meeting with pharmaceutical CEOs by announcing that he had suddenly had an idea to meet with health insurance companies. The president insisted that he didn't want to "soil" his idea by taking questions from the media.

Among the attractions at the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) conference being held in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend is an opportunity for attendees to get their picture taken in front of a re-creation of the tent where founder Charlie Kirk was murdered.

The four-day event, called "America Fest" is the first major gathering since Kirk was shot in the neck by an assassin as he took questions at a Utah college.

At the same time that government workers were affixing Donald Trump’s name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a former House Republican expressed his disgust with the power play and said it will hurt the party.

Appearing with MS NOW host Ana Cabrera, ex-Rep Charlie Dent (R-PA) said the naming change will face an uphill battle because it will require Senate approval for the permanent change and that is not a war Republicans need as the party is struggling.

A crowd at Turning Point USA's AmFest event booed slain Hollywood director Rob Reiner after MAGA influencer Steve Bannon said liberals believed he had a larger impact on culture than Charlie Kirk.

"Just I want to say one thing," Bannon told the AmFest crowd on Friday. "You know, the Rob Reiner — The situation is obviously a tragedy. The president's given you his unique take on things about that situation."

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) warned Attorney General Pam Bondi that she could face prosecution if all files concerning sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were not released by Friday.

"We will see thousands of documents that we should have seen decades ago," Khanna said in a video posted on Thursday. "Let me be very clear. We need a full release. Anyone who tampers with these documents or conceals documents or engages in excessive redaction will be prosecuted because of obstruction of justice."

Conservative journalist Brian Glenn erupted Friday over the ongoing MAGA civil war that was on full display Thursday during a Turning Point USA event in Arizona, warning that the escalating intraparty fights may hurt Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

“When it comes down to it, is your life better right now than it was a year ago?” Glenn said, speaking on right-wing news network Real America’s Voice.
