New York, NY — Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly has sharply criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, predicting that Bondi’s tenure in the Trump administration is “numbered.” Kelly’s remarks come amid growing backlash from conservative circles regarding the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) recent conclusions about Epstein’s death and the absence of a client list.
Background of the Epstein Case
In February 2025, Bondi announced that a list of Epstein’s clients was “sitting on her desk,” sparking anticipation among Trump supporters for revelations about high-profile individuals linked to Epstein. However, a July 2025 DOJ and FBI memo concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and that no client list exists. This reversal has led to criticism from conservative influencers and commentators.
Kelly’s Critique of Bondi
On her SiriusXM show, Kelly condemned Bondi’s handling of the situation, stating, “Her days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration.” She criticized Bondi for either knowingly misleading supporters or failing to verify the information in what was touted as bombshell evidence. Kelly also highlighted Bondi’s inconsistent statements and actions, which have sparked outrage among conservatives.
Reactions from Conservative Circles
Kelly’s comments reflect a broader discontent within conservative media circles. Influencers Glenn Beck and Laura Loomer have called for Bondi’s resignation, citing incompetence and mishandling of the Epstein files. Beck described Bondi’s actions as “unforgivable,” while Loomer referred to her as “Blondi” and demanded her removal from office.
Trump’s Response
President Donald Trump has publicly defended Bondi, praising her as doing a “FANTASTIC JOB” and privately doubling down on his support. Despite this, the controversy has strained relations within the MAGA movement, with some supporters expressing dissatisfaction over the handling of the Epstein case.
