Attorney General Pam Bondi is going after Democrats and those who continue to attack law enforcement.
While speaking at the ribbon cutting for the new Nassau County Police Training facility in Florida, Bondi spoke about the ongoing attacks against law enforcement in the country.
“The attacks on our police officers, we will not stand for any longer. Know this. Donald Trump and our entire administration will never tolerate any attacks on our police officers,” Bondi said.
“This facility behind us today will save the lives of police officers, and that’s why you’re doing this. Recruitment and retention are tough now because of the anti-police rhetoric. No more under Trump,” Bondi added.
Bondi declared that President Donald Trump’s administration has given out $157 million in grants to hire new officers all across the country.
Bondi also noted that Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Bill” — which recently passed Congress and was signed into law by the president — removes taxes on police overtime.

Bondi’s comments come amid the fallout from reports of internal division and chaos over the Justice Department’s memo last week announcing it was moving on from the Jeffrey Epstein case.
FBI Director Kash Patel stated on social media that he’s not going anywhere after rumors swirled that he might resign if Deputy Director Dan Bongino stepped down over disagreements with how Bondi handled the situation.
Patel posted on X, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States Donald Trump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”
His post came after reports on Friday suggested that he could leave the administration if Bongino quit, following a reported clash between Bongino andBondi over alleged Epstein files.
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields issued a statement as well, pushing back on the speculation.
“President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims,” Fields said. “This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity.”
“Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all,” he added.
The internal tension came after a DOJ memo was leaked to the press, stating that Epstein had killed himself in jail in 2019. It also concluded there was “no incriminating client list,” and no evidence Epstein was blackmailing elites.
The reports about Bongino possibly exiting over the Epstein case appear more credible. Laura Loomer first brought the issue to light, and multiple outlets have confirmed it.
According to Fox News, Bongino got into a heated exchange with Bondi during a meeting with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and ended up walking out.
Bondi has publicly stated there’s no Epstein “client list,” and said no further files will be released. That shocked and angered many in the MAGA base, especially after her earlier promises of full transparency.
President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to defend Bondi after backlash erupted over her stance on the Epstein case.
In response to the fallout, Trump backed her up, calling her “FANTASTIC” and warning that division within the movement only plays into the hands of the left.
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals’?” Trump wrote. “They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.”
He warned that Epstein’s name was being used again to create chaos inside the movement.
