Pam Bondi set to be represented by DOJ official in forthcoming Epstein interview

The Justice Department has indicated that Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, a candidate to replace Pam Bondi as Florida attorney general, will represent Bondi in a transcribed interview about the late financier Jeffrey Epstein slated for later this month. Lawmakers raised ethical concerns, questioning the propriety of a DOJ official representing a former state attorney general in a high‑profile inquiry.

Bondi, Florida’s first female attorney general and a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, has seen her political career unravel in recent years. After serving as the state’s top law‑enforcement officer, she became a frequent Trump supporter before being dismissed as an enforcer of his agenda. The upcoming interview marks a notable moment in her declining public role.
