Laura Loomer praises Pam Bondi’s DOJ record but slams her Epstein file handling as a 'disaster'

WASHINGTON, DC: Far-right activist Laura Loomer reacted to Pam Bondi's ouster as attorney general by praising her record while criticizing her failure to meet certain expectations, especially when it came to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Loomer nonetheless admitted that Bondi is "a nice person and I do believe her heart is in the right place."

Despite their past feuds, Loomer acknowledged that Bondi "made sacrifices to serve President Trump, which we can be grateful for" and noted that she "made a lot of money before she became US AG and still took the time to uproot her very comfortable life." 

Loomer remarked that "at the end of the day, Pam Bondi didn’t meet all of President Trump’s expectations as US Attorney General," specifically citing a lack of high-level arrests that the base had anticipated.

On the policy front, Loomer highlighted several major actions that she believes moved the country in the right direction.

She credited Bondi with overseeing illicit substance seizures and strengthening immigration enforcement by using all available criminal statutes against illegal entry.

Loomer was particularly supportive of Bondi’s move to "reform DOJ personnel and structure," which involved removing prosecutors from January 6 cases and ending Biden-era initiatives. 

She also praised the creation of "Joint Task Force October 7 (JTF 10-7)" to target Hamas leadership and the push to eliminate DEI programs within the government, stating she was grateful for these actions even though she felt "under stimulated by the Trump DOJ for the last year."

Loomer also noted that “Bondi launched federal initiatives and a task force to address antisemitism, particularly on college campuses.”

The most significant criticism centered on the department's transparency and its failure to deliver on high-stakes prosecutions.

Loomer was blunt about the recent handling of sensitive documents, stating that Bondi’s "handling of the Epstein Files has been unfortunate and chaotic, and many would say it was a disaster, myself included." 

This perceived failure, along with "the lack of arrests and prosecutions," has led many to look toward the future. 

As the search for a replacement begins, Loomer noted that "Many say it will be Lee Zeldin," expressing hope that a new leader can resolve the "chaos at the DOJ" and focus on "delivering accountability and enforcement."
