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 agree.
The personal credibility of Blondi, Patel, and Bongino has been hurt beyond repair.
But it was Trump or someone else’s call that led to the Epstein mess.
It appears Trump is fine with a DOJ and FBI which must operate without appearing in front of a camera and microphone.
In a strange way, it appears to be working out.
Trump has his wish of not confronting the Esptein affair head on, and at the same time the DOJ and FBI appear to be getting some things done.
If I look at it from Trump’s POV, this is the best DOJ/FBI that he has ever had.
A better DOJ than with Little Beauregard Sessions or the Traitor Billy Barr and a better FBI than with Comey or Wray.
Good post—and good list.
“First they complain that she is on TV too much, now they complain she is not on.”
You know who you are. There are plenty of them right here on FR.
“You know who you are. There are plenty of them right here on FR”
You are a liar. You know DAMN well that many here ruthlessly attack Bondi all the time. I am not going to list them. Do it yourself.
You yourself are attacking her now, proving my point. So piss off, I don’t give a crap what you think, say, and fart out your butt...
So what's the purpose of this trash article other than to continue to attack the current administration........?
I see our resident TDSers want to distract back to Epstein Epstein. That is yesterday’s news and we have moved on. You should too.
Personally, I want Jeffery's so called crypt opened, like Whoreldo did with that gangsters vault... We need proof Jeffery is dead and not living the high life in Israel or some island there about.....
So, how would you handle her job? Do you know anything about law? Or are you just one of those dumbass blowhards on the internet that says "Charge!" Raid 'em and arrest them..........
I already know the answer to that........Sheesh!
We are pursuing investigations of The Swamp.
I am a harsh critic, and rightly so, of Bondi months ago already, when she was still able to pull the wool over many’s eyes, so what?
There is no contradiction with the fact that I challenged your idiotic claim that there would be many people criticising Bondi for NOT doing Fox NOW. A pure lie, since that would make no sense for her critics to complain that she finally shuts her mouth, who are you kidding??
That’s why I asked you to name a single name. If you are too stupid to understand the simplest question possible, re read, with the finger, instead of accusing me of lying. But most probably, as a good subservient Bondi apologist, you are too dishonnest to admit your claim was a brazen lie so you try to deflect and project because you know well you have zero argument to defend her. You are a scumbag.
“So, how would you handle her job? Do you know anything about law? “
WTF????
Nobody said anything about retards, but then you just made the dumbest post ever........
so Mediate has sold you. Are you a sucker for every salesman with a good pitch, or just the ones that say what you want to hear?
Matt Gaetz should have been AG.
