Attorney General Pam Bondi is under scrutiny over her comments about cracking down on certain rhetoric in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk, marking the latest controversy of her own making.
Bondi and other Justice Department officials have had to clean up the attorney general’s comments from earlier in the week, when she said the agency would target those using hate speech, something that is generally protected by the First Amendment.
The attorney general has previously taken heat from some on the right for her comments about the case of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, where critics argue Bondi overpromised and underdelivered on releasing documents.
While some on the right have called for President Trump to move on from Bondi, there are no indications he plans to do so.
