‘Dangle Sweet Nothings’: Megyn Kelly Urges Trump To Focus On Pam Bondi Before Epstein ‘Hornet’s Nest’ Blows Up

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly told Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk Friday that President Donald Trump should pay attention to Attorney General Pam Bondi before the “hornet’s nest” surrounding the “Epstein Files” blows up.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly said Sunday that deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list” and there was no foul play in his death. Bondi has received massive pushback. While speaking to Kirk at TPUSA’s Student Action Summit in Florida, Kelly said she believes Trump has not been focused on the issue due to a plethora of other matters.

“I don’t think President Trump is focused on this. He’s focused on a lot of other things which are going great, and he needs to be focused on those other things. Jeffrey Epstein’s not the most important thing on his agenda by any stretch of the imagination,” Kelly said. “I just don’t think this has captured his attention quite yet. But it needs to because it’s starting to create a real hornet’s nest within the administration, and, I’ve got to be honest, I blame Pam Bondi.”

“I have nothing — yes, incompetence, yes. I have nothing against Pam Bondi as a human being,” Kelly added. “I was fine with her nomination and her confirmation, and she’s been loyal to the president, and I get that President Trump needs a loyal attorney general, but there are a lot of other people who can be loyal and competent in that job.”

Trump vowed to show transparency on cases such as Epstein’s as well as the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. Public demand to release the remaining Epstein files had built. By February, Bondi appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Watters, saying the “files” were on her desk and that the public would see “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, [and] a lot, a lot of information.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Top Trump Officials Admit They’re Pissed At How The Epstein Story Was Handled)

Just a day later, on Feb. 27, Bondi came under fire from the public after giving conservative influencers a binder labeled “Epstein Files: Phase 1.” With the information in the binder placed under a brief embargo, it was later revealed that the files contained little new information.

“She is the reason that things are unraveling around this story right now that virtually all of the Republican Party cares deeply about. It’s also true that Dan Bongino and Kash Patel had questions about Epstein before they took office, OK, before they went to the FBI. But once they joined the FBI, they said nothing. They kept their mouths shut about Epstein,” Kelly said.

“You have not seen them except for one joint appearance with Dan and Kash on Fox. Who have you seen? Pam Bondi. She has never missed an opportunity to go on television and dangle sweet nothings that might be coming your way,” Kelly said. “Try to lead you to believe that she’s got it. It’s on her desk. It’s coming tomorrow. You’re gonna see something on Epstein. And it was a tease. So you either believe that Pam Bondi was telling the truth then or that she’s telling the truth now, but both cannot be true.”

After public scrutiny over the fiasco, Bondi appeared on Fox News again in March, telling Sean Hannity that the files she had were given to her by the FBI. The attorney general claimed that a “source” told her that more “evidence” was sitting “in the Southern District of New York” and the FBI officially had the remaining files.

Bondi said FBI Director Kash Patel would give her a “detailed report” as to why the “documents and evidence had been withheld” from the DOJ and vowed to release the information with redactions.

“It’s infuriating that these people thought that they could sit on this information, but they can’t,” Bondi told Hannity. “And when we redact things, Sean, what we’re going to do is not just pull pages out like they used to do. If something’s redacted, you will know the line, and you will know why it’s redacted, the victim’s name, identifying information of a victim.”

The public continues to demand full transparency from the administration, with some calling for Bondi’s resignation.

Epstein died in 2019 at the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center. The deceased pedophile’s brother Mark came forward to raise concerns about whether his brother killed himself. That year, Mark Epstein hired forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who told Fox News that Epstein’s autopsy appeared more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging.

In response to all the speculation about how Epstein died, the DOJ released more than 10 hours of full “raw and enhanced” footage from the correctional center. Speculations continued, however, after WIRED reviewed the video’s metadata and released a report Friday saying the “raw” footage was likely edited.
