Attorney General Pam Bondi has all but disappeared from Fox News in recent weeks, after being all over the network during the first few months of the Trump administration.
Bondi’s last appearance as a guest on Fox News was with Sean Hannity on June 30th, days before her DOJ and the FBI released a joint memo concluding that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and did not keep a “client list.”
Bondi subsequently found herself on the receiving end of a firestorm of anger from the MAGA base, which had been assured by President Donald Trump, Bondi, and others in the administration that the “truckload” of Epstein evidence would be made available to the public.
Bondi’s lack of Fox News appearances since the memo’s release is particularly noteworthy given her long history with the network and just how much she appeared on the network beforehand.
In 2018, while serving as Florida’s attorney general, Bondi co-hosted Fox’s The Five and has been a regular commentator on the network for years, especially in the wake of her representing Trump during his first impeachment trial and during his challenging of the 2020 presidential election.
Bondi took over as attorney general on February 5th and by mid-April had been on the network’s weekday programming more than a dozen times. Her appearances were so frequent that by March, it led to frustration among some of the MAGA rank-and-file, who were already getting impatient for the Epstein files to drop.
“Furious MAGA turns on Pam Bondi after ‘unprecedented’ number of Fox News appearances,” read one headline in late March, which followed Bondi releasing binders of Epstein files to MAGA influencers, who later criticized the information as meaningless.
One possible explanation for Bondi ditching her on-air Fox appearances can be found in some of the headlines the network ran following the joint DOJ-FBI memo.
“Bondi under siege after DOJ reveals no Epstein client list,” read a July 7th headline on Fox News digital, outlining the MAGA anger directed at Bondi over some of her past claims, including telling Fox News she had the Epstein list “on her desk right now.”
On July 12th, Fox covered the spat between Bondi and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino under the headline, “Inside Dan Bongino’s tense meeting with White House officials over Jeffrey Epstein fallout.” At the time, reports claimed Bongino was ready to quit his role if Bondi stayed in hers. Trump, however, strongly stood behind Bondi, and both have since remained in their jobs with their spat quickly fading from the news.
Bondi did appear briefly on Fox on July 18th, but not as a guest. Fox joined Bondi and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum as they toured Alcatraz Island amid Trump publicly calling for the prison to be reopened, and she spoke briefly to correspondent David Spunt during their visit.
Bondi still generates significant coverage on Fox News. Her announcement on Thursday of a $50 million bounty for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, for example, was widely covered on the network, but unlike in previous months, Bondi did not personally come on air to discuss the move, even though it will undoubtedly be very popular with the MAGA base.
Whether or not Bondi returns to Fox’s air anytime soon will be something to watch out for as the backlash to the Epstein case either evaporates or continues to grip many in the MAGA base.

I look forward to seeing her as she parades some high profile Democrat bad actors in handcuffs into the courtroom for their indictments...
and not one minute before.
Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, currently striking right balance of media. But AG’s by nature of the job need to be the most discreet of all. I like Pam otherwise though.
Some in the media, in every type of media, are beating a dead horse. I guess they got nothing else to get attention to themselves.
“Her slogan is “Overpromise and underdeliver.””
And based on that as a metric, she’s wildly successful.
What sent the base into was the Epstein “suicide” and slippery video. They went from “ cameras malfunctioned” to now there are recordings to now there is but missing pieces to not missing parts to ….
Epstein isn’t the issue it’s the people his staff serviced they are the one’s with the power to stop the report.
If it is released more people that knew the Clinton’s will get cold quick.
International players have a lot of clout deals will be made.
The Epstein scandal is so frustrating. Here’s the swamp, there’s the drain...yet they do nothing.
First they complain that she is on TV too much, now they complain she is not on.
Haters!
Trump likes her and she’s good friends with Susie Wiles, so the word clearly got passed one way or another to cool her jets with the media. And she has.
I don’t know who “they” is, but she sure was awfully good at self-promotion before her self-inflicted File-gate fiasco.
“Pam Bondi Was a Fox News Regular. Then the Epstein Scandal Happened.” so of course that means Trump is implicated right geniuses?
How about there is a difference between “Let’s just string’em up,” and a legal process that will hold up in court. I know that some here don’t understand the difference.
“””The Epstein scandal is so frustrating. Here’s the swamp, there’s the drain...yet they do nothing.”””
The “news” people are desperately trying to turn Epstein into a big scandal. I watched Nicole Wallace of msnbc for a few minutes the other day. They were talking about one of the heads at the FBI who just got fired for no reason at all. They knew for sure he got fired because he was just about to break open the Epstein scandal so he was silenced.
That’s how you know EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN is their new RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. They can’t get it to stick because nobody cares about the nothing burger.
We need one high profile Democrat indictment just to prove she can do it.
Just one.
(Then she can take her time working down the long list...)
Blondi calling Epstein case closed nothing to see here was the BEST thing that ever happened to her.
Made her FOCUS on doing stuff instead of promising stuff.
The less I’ve seen of Blondi the more I have warmed to her.
Being an attention ‘ho in the Kardashian tradition is no way to go through your tenure as AG.
Yes, we all covered that when it happened.
So why bring it up now? When she's NOT doing Fox anymore?
Really lame article.
I look forward to seeing her as she parades some high profile Democrat bad actors in handcuffs into the courtroom for their indictments...

As little as I know or am into the Epstein scandal it’s well known that the people involved are not just democrats. They also include high profile entertainers, television personalities and probably high profile republicans as well.
Also the rich tend to hitch rides on private jets with other rich who are going the same way rather than use two airplanes. From what I hear Epstein was one many went to for a going that way lift. Sounds more like Epstein may have been the one always jumping in to give them a ride. Seems like he was always looking to be seen with the famous and jotting names and numbers down to make himself look important. These people should not be confused with the actual sex scandal but you know how the media will react if Don Jr or Eric Trump’s name is on an Epstein list.
President Trump warned that we are not going to like seeing some of the names.
The Epstein scandal was not anything I thought of as a 2025 issue during the election but I do think it’s important. But I think it should have been a post midterm.
1) It’s taking away from the issue that the dems have done to our so-called “democracy” as they would call it. The coup against Trump.
2) The question about who was actually signing the papers in the WH for 4 years. Who was really the acting President?
The American people are bring thrown too many issues all at once and most of them are due to democrat crimes. We need to make sure a coup never happens again because of the dems regain control, it will not matter who was on the Epstein list because if you are a democrat you will go scott free and if you are not a democrat, you will go to jail without a trial just like the jan sixers did even if you were on a list hitching a ride from New York to LA.
“Blondi calling Epstein case closed nothing to see here was the BEST thing that ever happened to her.”
Doing hard work = a good thing, but having zero credibility (”case closed”) is a not insignificant liability. Let’s be clear: she lied, and she lied about one the highest-profile crime since the Lindbergh kidnapping and the JFK assassination. It doesn’t require a lot of interpretation to consider her word to be garbage.
Bondi vowed to release the list, telling Fox News on Feb. 21, “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review” — a reference to the long-awaited and much-speculated-about list of powerful figures connected to the late disgraced financier.
But after months of investigation, the Department of Justice and the FBI said “there is no such list. “
No information on: Ray Epps, the undercover FBI agents on J6, the agents and leader of the MAL raid, no grand jury presentation on the capitol cop who murdered Ashli Babbitt, the 6am raids on private homes to round up patriots involved in J6, no list off her desk of Epstein clients. NOTHING.
Pam Bondi Was a Fox News Regular. Then she screwed up the Epstein Scandal. Bondi’s lack of Fox News appearances is particularly noteworthy given her long history with the network and just how much she appeared on the network beforehand.
