Pam Bondi sidelined by sudden medical condition after bombshell report claims AG told Trump he was in Epstein files
Pam Bondi abruptly canceled her appearance at a high-profile anti-trafficking summit on Wednesday, citing a sudden medical emergency. The attorney general - who has been under siege over the Epstein files - was scheduled to appear at CPAC's Summit Against Human Trafficking when a speaker at the event made the stunning announcement. 'I do have a note from the attorney general, from Attorney General Pam Bondi, that I wanted to share,' Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti said. He then read her statement aloud: 'I'm sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today...' 'Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn cornea, which is preventing me from being with you. I truly wish I was able to join you and support all of the work being done on this critical issue.' At the conclusion of the statement, Galeotti laughed nervously as scattered applause came from the audience. 'We appreciate the applause for her and not boos for me,' he joked. 'So I will do my best to fill those big shoes.' Several people can be seen walking out of the conference after it was revealed the attorney general would not be speaking. The Department of Justice did not provide any further information about Bondi's condition. Her injury came just hours after a bombshell report claimed she personally informed President Trump that his name appeared 'multiple times' in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Bondi's appearance at the CPAC summit was highly-anticipated given her central role in the administration's long-promised disclosures about the billionaire pedophile. Adding to the intrigue, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi had informed President Trump in May that his name appeared more frequently than expected in the trove of sealed Epstein files. Bondi had warned Trump that while the documents included 'unverified hearsay,' they also contained child pornography and sensitive victim information. She also advised against further public releases, the WSJ said. The Journal's report directly contradicts Trump's public statements about the drama surrounding the Epstein files. On July 15, when asked whether his name came up in a briefing with Bondi about the Epstein records, Trump replied bluntly: 'No, no.' He described the meeting as 'just a very quick briefing,' and accused former FBI Director James Comey of 'making up' the contents of the files. Trump's communications director, Steven Cheung, slammed the Journal's reporting as 'fake news,' responding to the Daily Mail in a statement. 'The fact is that the President kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep,' Cheung said. 'This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about.' But the Journal's reporting was backed by multiple senior officials, who said Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche briefed Trump as part of a 'routine meeting.' The Journal also noted that Bondi recommended withholding additional Epstein documents due to their inclusion of graphic material and potential privacy violations. 'They turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein,' Bondi said at a July 8 cabinet meeting. 'Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.' Bondi's explanation has done little to quell outrage particularly from Trump's MAGA base, which has grown increasingly hostile towards over what they see as stall tactics and contradictions. Her promise earlier this year on Fox News that she had the Epstein 'client list' on her desk proved hollow, as the long-awaited 'Phase I' release offered no significant revelations. A leaked DOJ-FBI memo later revealed that no such 'client list' had ever been located in agency files. The backlash has ignited conspiracies of a cover-up and infighting within pro-Trump circles. Calls to release everything have grown louder, and some prominent MAGA influencers have demanded Bondi's resignation. The administration's failure to deliver on the campaign promise of transparency in the Epstein case is becoming a political flashpoint. Trump has had recent beef with the Wall Street Journal, threatening to sue the publication and its owner Rupert Murdoch for publishing last week a piece claiming he sent Epstein a 50th birthday card with a hand-drawn outline of a naked women. The paper claims that Trump wrote in the card's note: 'May every day be another wonderful secret.' 'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women,' Trump fired back when asked if he transmitted such a card. 'It's not my language. It's not my words.' Legal experts say such a defamation lawsuit would be difficult to win, but the threat underscores the president's rising frustration with how the Epstein story is dominating headlines - and damaging his team's credibility.

Trump news at a glance: White House claims ‘fake news' as president faces fresh Epstein claims
Donald Trump is facing a widening crisis amid a report claiming that his name appears in US justice department files about Jeffrey Epstein as Congress subpoenas testimony from Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The White House sought to downplay the relationship between the US president and the disgraced financier while Trump's spokesperson denied an account in the Wall Street Journal that the president was told in May by attorney general Pam Bondi that he is named in the Epstein files. The report says the president was told that many other high profile figures were also named and states that being mentioned in the records isn't a sign of wrongdoing. 'The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep,' spokesperson Steven Cheung said. 'This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.'

Trump supporter charged with making threats against U.S. lawmaker
July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. federal authorities have arrested a man accused of sending dozens of threatening and violent messages to public officials he viewed as hostile to President Donald Trump's agenda, charging him with threatening a member of Congress. Geoffrey Giglio, a Trump supporter who has previously been questioned by at least four federal law enforcement agencies over similar conduct, was charged this week with threatening a member of U.S. Congress, transmitting interstate threats and making anonymous harassing communications, according to a federal complaint. The charges stem from violent and profane messages Giglio allegedly left for U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat and frequent Trump critic. According to the complaint, Giglio left a voicemail for Swalwell in March warning, 'If you want to keep fighting, then we will come get you.' He referenced a .308 caliber rifle, saying, 'I'll just set up behind my .308 and I'll do my job,' and ended the message with sexually explicit remarks about Swalwell's wife. In a follow-up call to Swalwell's office in mid-June, after already being questioned by the FBI, Giglio told a staff intern, 'Tell Eric Swalwell that we are coming and that we are going to handle everyone. We are going to hurt everyone,' according to the complaint. The complaint also details threats Giglio made to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and to an FBI agent investigating the matter. In a message to Benson, he said, 'We are coming for you,' using explicit language and threatening to 'put her in a hole.' Giglio acknowledged sending the message during a June 3 interview with the FBI, the complaint said. On June 26, the day before his arrest, Giglio sent several hostile messages to the FBI agent, writing, 'Now I'm coming for you.' the complaint said. Giglio was arrested in California but was not charged over the threats to Benson or the FBI agent, the complaint said. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California, which is prosecuting the case, and the FBI declined to comment. A public defender listed in court records as representing Giglio did not respond to requests for comment. The offices of Swalwell and Benson also did not immediately respond. The White House condemned the threats against Swalwell. "As a survivor of multiple assassination attempts, the president takes these matters extremely seriously,' said White House spokesperson Harrison Fields. 'Anyone engaging in such behavior will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law." The complaint cites a2024 Reuters investigation that identified Giglio as a persistent source of threats against public officials, including judges, lawmakers and state election officials. Despite multiple investigations by federal agencies, including the FBI and the Secret Service, Giglio had not previously been charged, as his messages often stopped short of the legal threshold for prosecution under the First Amendment, according to the Reuters report. The arrest comes amid the most sustained wave of U.S. political violence since the 1970s, including two assassination attempts against Trump last year and the murder in June of a former Democratic speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives and her husband.
