Former Attorney General Pam Bondi testified today before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door transcribed interview, and the Democrat outrage machine immediately went into overdrive.

Bondi spent more than 3.5 hours testifying behind closed doors Friday before the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers grilled her over the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files.

The appearance came as Bondi continues recovering from thyroid cancer, with a visible bandage on her throat as she arrived on Capitol Hill.

Democrats on the committee are spinning Bondi’s straightforward explanation of standard Department of Justice procedure as her “pushing all the Epstein file blame” onto Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) claimed Bondi continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on Acting AG Todd Blanche.

“This part of the interview shows that she continues to push responsibility for the investigation—and the blame—onto Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. She said, and I quote, ‘Acting AG Blanche was managing the entire investigation.’

What you’re going to hear in that interview, and in her remarks here, is that she is saying Todd Blanche, the current Acting Attorney General, was leading the Epstein investigation. Quite frankly, all of the mistakes we saw—the redactions, the failure to protect survivors, and other issues—she continues to push back onto Acting AG Todd Blanche.”

Bondi quickly shot down the claim.

In a statement posted to X following the testimony, Bondi directly denied that she was blaming Blanche.

“NOT TRUE,” Bondi wrote.

“I praised Acting AG Blanche’s management of this Herculean task. I said his ethics are beyond reproach and that he is an incredible Attorney General.”

Bondi opened her testimony by making clear she delegated oversight of the massive Epstein files review and release process to then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — now the Acting AG.

Here’s what Bondi actually said in her opening statement, according to Fox News:

“Before we start today, I want to reiterate what I have said many times regarding the Department’s handling during my tenure as Attorney General of the voluminous materials that are now commonly known as the Epstein Files,” she told the committee, according to the document.

“I am proud of the Department’s record and commitment to transparency under my leadership. We demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to transparency in the Department’s search for, collection, and review of the Epstein files, producing nearly 3 million pages of material, including thousands of videos and hundreds of thousands of images”

“To the best of my knowledge, the Department produced everything required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Our diligent and good faith effort to collect materials ensured that all potentially responsive documents that could be reasonably located would see the light of day.”

“All Department components were directed to submit any potentially responsive records, resulting in a comprehensive review of millions of documents. As the head of a large Department with broad responsibilities, I did not lead every aspect of this effort or conduct that document review myself. I delegated oversight over this process to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.”

Immigration enforcement legend Greg Bovino has confirmed he will take the stage at the 2026 Remigration Summit in Portugal on Saturday to share lessons from the front lines of the United States’ largest-scale interior deportation operations.

The event is the second edition of the Remigration Summit, with the first held in Milan, Italy, in 2025.

The Remigration Summit brings together politicians, activists, intellectuals, and patriots from across Europe, America, and other Western nations to confront the existential crisis of unchecked mass migration and chart a path forward through remigration.

Bovino, the retired Border Patrol commander-at-large who became the public face of President Donald Trump’s enforcement sweeps in Democrat-run cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Minneapolis, is bringing real-world operational expertise to the table.

While serving under the Trump admin, Bovino led high-profile operations that removed thousands of criminal illegal aliens from American streets, often operating under intense media and political pressure.

Speaking to The Gateway Pundit, Bovino said:

“I was honored to be invited to speak at the Remigration Summit in Porto regarding my experiences over the past year conducting large-scale immigration enforcement in the United States. Martin Sellnor, one of the architects of the European Remigration effort, saw similarities in the problems facing Europe and the US, and as we talked, we realized those problems could potentially be tackled collectively.”

Bovino continued, “I’ll talk about the US experience- information is power. Mass deportations in the United States and repatriations in Europe are essential in saving both cultures. I’m honored to share insight with this motivated group.”

As he was traveling to the event, he was stopped by a fan who was en route to the summit as well. However, Bovino kept tight-lipped about his real destination for safety and security purposes.

In a statement posted to X, Bovino elaborated:

Mass migration isn’t just an Americancrisis — it’s hitting every developed nation the same: strained housing, overwhelmed welfare, rising crime, and communities losing their identity.

From the streets of Paris to American cities throughout the country, from Stockholm to Sydney, the problems are identical. That’s why I’m at the Remigration Summit in Porto today.

The diagnosis is the same everywhere, so the solution must be too: remigration. Time to protect our societies.

This diverse coalition of elected officials, thinkers, and grassroots fighters aims to signal a unified front for Europe and America standing together to enforce immigration laws, protect citizens, and reclaim their futures.

General admission tickets and livestream information are available on the event’s website.

A deal may be about to be agreed upon.

All eyes of the world are turned to the White House today (29), where President Donald J. Trump has assembled his top aides to discuss and ‘make a final determination’ on a deal with Iran.

The agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end the US blockade of Iranian ports, and — very importantly – see the US finding and destroying Iran’s leftover enriched uranium.

The New York Post reported:

In a Truth Social post, Trump made clear he wants the US to get the ‘nuclear dust’ to ensure Tehran cannot ever develop a nuclear weapon.

He also noted that ‘it is agreed’ that the US ‘is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability’ of extracting the uranium.”

“A diplomatic agreement would be the biggest breakthrough in talks since the US and Israel started their war on Iran on Feb. 28 with the stated goals of preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons, taking out its military and ballistic missile capabilities, and encouraging regime change.

The Trump memo of understanding proposed extending the cease-fire for 60 days, reopening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and allowing the US and Iran to hammer out remaining nuclear issues — such as parameters around Iran’s future uranium enrichment.”

The Louisiana Senate on Friday passed a new Congressional map that gives the Republicans an extra seat.

Republican Governor Jeff Landry will sign the new map.

On Thursday, the Louisiana House approved a new Congressional map that eliminates a racially gerrymandered district, sending the bill to the Senate.

Louisiana delayed its House primaries late last month after a blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on a key Voting Rights Act provision.

The Supreme Court recently declared Louisiana’s previous Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.

The AP reported:

Louisiana lawmakers passed a new congressional map Friday designed to pick up a Republican seat while leaving the state with just one of its two majority-Black House districts represented by Democrats.

Approval of the new House map came a month after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state’s current map as an illegal racial gerrymander, weakening the landmark 1965 federal Voting Rights Act. That decision intensified a national redistricting battle fueled by President Donald Trump’s efforts to protect the Republicans’ slim House majority in the midterm elections.

Louisiana Republicans had considered drawing a map giving the party a shot at winning all six of the state’s U.S. House seats. But that would have required adding more Black voters to Republican-held districts, potentially backfiring with losses. Some Republicans said a 5-1 map better protects U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson from facing a difficult reelection.

O’Keefe Media Group founder and legendary investigative journalist James O’Keefe sent a letter to Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon on Friday, requesting an investigation into the Washington Nationals for religious discrimination against its own players.  

The letter, drafted by First Amendment Attorney Benjamin Barr on behalf of O’Keefe and CatholicVote President and CEO Kelsey Reinhardt, follows a letter from Rep. Lauren Boebert, accusing the ball club of “unlawful religious discrimination” and calling on Dhillon and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to take “immediate and decisive action.”

According to Fox News, the DOJ has acknowledged Boebert’s letter. “The Department is reviewing the matter and will evaluate all appropriate next steps. As always, we remain committed to enforcing federal law and protecting civil rights,” a spokesperson said.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, undercover O’Keefe released an undercover video of Washington Nationals Director of Community Relations, Sean Hudson, admitting to religious discrimination against Christian pitcher Trevor Williams on Tuesday.

“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams. He’s super Christian-Catholic, all these tattoos that mean a lot,” Hudson told the undercover reporter.

“The Dodgers had a group… who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. [Trevor Williams] went on social media like… ‘This is my religion. You all are mocking it,’” he added.

Hudson was later placed on leave after his anti-Christian comments were made public.
