'Very sketchy': Ex-Trump aide says Pam Bondi gave a license to commit crime
The View's Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served in the first Trump administration, called the current Department of Justice explanation of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, "very sketchy."
The Department of Justice released a memo this week "concluding that 'no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted' in the investigation" of the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender," according to The New York Times.
Furthermore, the memo concluded that Epstein, a former associate of Donald Trump's, died by suicide in his Manhattan cell in 2019, despite conspiracy theories claiming he was murdered.
At Tuesday's cabinet meeting, Attorney General Pam Bondi attempted to explain away the alleged "missing minute" of video footage "proving" Epstein committed suicide, saying, "What we learned from the Bureau of Prisons...every night the video is reset. Every night should have the same minute missing."
Griffin found the whole explanation to be suspicious.
"I don't feel like we should be advertising that the Bureau of Prisons has one minute that is not accounted for in federal prison every single night around 11:59," Griffin said. "It's basically saying if you want to do your crimes, you got one minute. Very sketchy."
Griffin mentioned investigative journalist Julie K. Brown, who pointed out that "there are massive inconsistencies in this story. She says the camera footage released by the Department of Justice — that's only one angle —that it does not...account for other angles, and talks about the fact he was given two mattresses and two blankets and allowed to sleep on the floor while no other inmates were at the time."
"I'm not someone who dabbles in conspiracy," Griffin continued. "This was a bad man who deserved justice, and [I] haven't liked the rubber-necking about who is going to be involved, but there does need to be justice, and you can't promise there is going to be and show up this empty-handed."
Angry MAGA supporters called for Bondi's resignation over her failure to produce more information on Epstein.
