Republican tests waters for impeaching Pam Bondi

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is testing the waters with his social media followers on whether Attorney General Pam Bondi should be impeached.

According to Newsweek, Massie "asked his followers on X whether or not they support impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein files — tens of thousands responded saying they support the idea."

Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican who has repeatedly enraged President Donald Trump by bucking the party on various issues, was one of the key sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).

Bondi has been the focus of bipartisan ire for months over her handling of the Epstein sex trafficking case; she initially promised a thorough review of the issue, which was a core campaign promise of Trump's, but kicked off a firestorm in her own party when she concluded by denying the existence of a "client list" she had previously said was on her desk for review.

Congress overwhelmingly passed Massie and Khanna's bill, compelling a broader release of files, although the administration has dragged its feet past the deadline and has yet to release everything legally required of them, potentially putting Bondi in legal jeopardy.

Trump, for his part, has lashed out at Massie, calling him a "lowlife."

Massie, undeterred, has responded, "Imagine celebrating a blessed Christmas with your family… suddenly phones alert everyone to the most powerful man in the world attacking you… for fulfilling his campaign promise to help victims!" and leveraging the attack into a fundraising boost for re-election.
