Donald Trump’s inability to get past the questions about his relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein can be placed directly at the feet of Attorney General Pam Bondi over her seemingly unending series of blunders with the Epstein files, according to MS NOW hosts.

According to the co-hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” the Trump appointee has not only damaged the credibility of the agency she heads, but has dragged down the president and the Republican Party with her.

Testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton as part of the congressional probe into the Jeffrey Epstein case opens the door for the current president and first lady to talk about their own ties to the late sex offender.

Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she did not recall ever meeting the well-connected financier who died in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Bill Clinton is expected to testify about his relationship with Epstein – a former friend of President Donald Trump and an associate of Melania Trump.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) put Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo on the spot Friday over the killing of Alex Pretti last month by federal immigration officers, a killing that Bartiromo attempted to defend before being reminded of the concept of proportionality.

Bartiromo confronted Khanna over how many of his Democratic colleagues remained seated during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday when asked by the president to stand if they supported the following statement: “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

With multiple Republican lawmakers going public with concerns that the Department of Justice is engaged in a cover-up over Donald Trump’s relationship with convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, MS NOW’s Willie Geist suggested the walls are closing in on the president.

On “Morning Joe,” MS NOW's Ali Vitali pointed out to Willie Geist comments made by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) who expressed concern about missing Epstein files and redactions approved by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Continuing to pile on House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) for deposing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for six hours over Jeffrey Epstein, with whom she had no relationship, the panel on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” said it is time to call in Melania Trump.

As co-host Joe Scarborough pointed out, there is a multitude of photos of Melania with her husband Donald, Epstein and some with the convicted sex predator's partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

Panic erupted early Friday morning after the Trump administration issued a rare order encouraging Americans in Israel to “consider leaving while commercial flights are available,” sparking speculation that an all-out war may be imminent.

“Good luck to us all,” wrote Israeli geopolitical analyst Nitzan David Fuchs in a social media post on X early Friday morning, according to an automatic translation of their original post that was written in Hebrew.

Multiple Democratic lawmakers are demanding answers after a newly unearthed photo released – and later pulled – by the Justice Department appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, with at least one lawmaker arguing that the photo proves Lutnick had lied under oath.

“Dear Howard Lutnick: So how many times did you go to Epstein’s rape island?” asked Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) in a social media post on X Thursday evening.

The three co-hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” could not stop laughing on Friday morning at how poorly the Hillary Clinton deposition on Thursday went for House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY).

Following the six-hour interrogation of Clinton, centered on a person she has never met, Jeffrey Epstein, the former Secretary of States gave a bemused press conference where she ridiculed some of the questions Republicans lobbed at her and flipped the script by pressing Comer to depose Donald Trump.
