Overview

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi cited recovery from a torn cornea in a note read by Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti at CPAC’s Summit Against Human Trafficking.
  • The announcement came just as the event opened and prompted scattered applause from attendees.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported that Bondi told President Trump in May his name appeared in Epstein-related records, a claim that White House Communications Director Steven Cheung has labeled “fake news.”
  • The Justice Department has provided no further information about Bondi’s eye injury beyond the torn cornea statement.
  • Conservative influencers and bipartisan lawmakers continue to press for the full release of Jeffrey Epstein files, keeping pressure on the administration’s transparency pledges.
