Jimmy Kimmel slams Pam Bondi’s Trump defense during Epstein hearing: Talks like 'teenage girl'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jimmy Kimmel tore into Attorney General Pam Bondi's combative performance before the House Judiciary Committee.

The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' host mocked her repeated defenses of President Donald Trump and questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files in the episode aired on Wednesday, February 11.

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Pam Bondi's responses

During his monologue on the show, Kimmel suggested that Bondi had added pressure heading into the hearing.

“This hearing has been on the books for weeks,“ he said. ”But the stakes were especially high for Pam because there are reports that Trump was complaining about her for not doing enough to punish his enemies or administer his enemas,” he quipped.

He added, “So Pam Bondi, with the Trump-Epstein files front and center now, had to butter that biscuit as bigly as she could.”

Kimmel played footage of Bondi praising Trump during the hearing, including her claim that “he is the most transparent president in the nation’s history.”

“That’s right. He’s so transparent, you had to black out his name like 1,000 times,” Kimmel shot back.

In another clip, Bondi deflected an Epstein-related question by highlighting the stock market, saying that it was “smashing records” under Trump, whom she called “the greatest president in American history.”

Kimmel responded with biting sarcasm: “You’re all so caught up with pe********a, you’re not even thinking about your IRAs.”

As Bondi grew visibly frustrated during the hearing, Kimmel mocked her tone and demeanor.

“Did she think she was invited to a mixer? I don’t know. It’s like speaking to a teenage girl. She keeps talking like that. Epstein’s going to come back from the dead and ask for a massage,” he said, referring to the disgraced financier's known modus operandi of entrapping girls.

Referring to the length of the hearing, Kimmel added, “That went on for almost five hours. She’s shouting like a crazed dance mom, berating Democrats for giving her chubby daughter a low score.”

Kimmel also criticized Bondi for accusing Rep Thomas Massie, a Republican who supported efforts to release the Epstein files, of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Kimmel quipped.

“The ultra-conservative congressman from Kentucky who endorsed Donald Trump three times has Trump derangement syndrome. Trump himself, the man who tweeted the Obamas as monkeys the other day, solid as a rock. Everyone else is deranged. I mean, seriously, there’s nothing to defend here.”

Jimmy Kimmel concludes with a pointed question

Kimmel ended his monologue with a pointed challenge directed at the Justice Department.

“This Department of Justice is hiding the names of people who are not victims. Why are they doing that? If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding names?” he questioned.

“That’s it,” Kimmel said. “That’s the only question anybody needs to ask. It’s maddening.”

This comes after Pam Bondi's heated House Judiciary Committee hearing, where she was questioned over her handling of Jeffrey Epstein matters and the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
