Fired U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi could be stripped of her law license after a retired judge and 120 Florida legal experts filed a sweeping ethics complaint against her with the Florida Bar.The complaint was brought by Peggy Quince, a retired chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court, and carries the signatures of more than 120 judges, law professors, and attorneys. It is their second attempt; the Bar turned away an earlier filing last June on the grounds that it doesn't investigate sitting federal appointees. But President Donald Trump's dismissal of Bondi in April means that obstacle is no longer in the way."No one lawyer is above the law," Quince said in a statement.The coalition behind the complaint — which includes Lawyers Defending American Democracy, the Democracy Defenders Fund, and Lawyers for the Rule of Law — alleges Bondi pressured DOJ attorneys to bend their ethical obligations or face termination.Much of the filing focuses on Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, accusing her of misleading the public about a supposed "client list" she claimed was on her desk, then overseeing a document release so poorly managed that unredacted names, birth dates, and photos of victims were exposed.Attorneys for survivors called one January release "the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history." Virginia Canter, chief counsel at the Democracy Defenders Fund, said, "Lawyers have been disbarred for less."The complaint further alleges Bondi greenlit prosecutions without probable cause against Trump adversaries — including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose cases a federal judge dismissed in November — and against protesters detained during immigration raids. Bondi's successor, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer, re-indicted Comey in late April on a separate charge.The Democracy Defenders Fund says Bondi had "created an environment in which DOJ lawyers were induced to engage in acts they were ethically prohibited from doing, under threat of suspension or termination — or were fired for not doing so."The Justice Department called the complaint, "a baseless and pathetic media stunt conjured up by inept attorneys desperate for relevance," according to the Miami Herald.Bondi is scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee Friday over the Epstein investigation — but only in a closed-door session, not the public sworn testimony Democrats sought."Bondi must testify under oath, on camera, for the public to see," Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) wrote on X.Since her firing, Bondi has been recovering from thyroid cancer surgery. Trump has since appointed her to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) astonished onlookers on Wednesday after he gave what some described as an "ignorant" interview on Fox News. Graham joined Fox News host Sean Hannity on his eponymous show, where the two discussed topics ranging from President Donald Trump's efforts to end the war in Iran to Trump's endorsement of Graham's re-election bid. But it was one comment Graham made about a prominent award that he thinks Trump should receive that caught the ears of political analysts and observers. "If he can get Saudi Arabia, the epicenter of Islam in the world, to recognize the State of Israel, then he will have ended the Israeli-Arab conflict that's been going on for thousands of years. They should change the Nobel Prize to the Trump Prize," Graham said. Graham made the comments at a time when Trump's influence in the Middle East appears to be waning. Trump's negotiations with the Iranian regime to end the war have effectively stalled, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed. Political analysts and observers reacted to Graham's comments on social media. "Is there anyone more ignorant than U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham? Ignorant of history, ignorant of geography, ignorant of politics, ignorant of geopolitics, and even ignorant of religion?" Samar Jarrah, a radio host and author, posted on X. "How did America descend this quickly to such a level? In fact, to something even worse than rock bottom.""This man lives permanently in Trump's anus," Wajahat Ali, host of the "Democracy-ish" podcast, posted on X. "Is Lindsey drunk again or just embarrassing himself?" Orla Joelsen, a political commentator from Greenland, posted on X.
