U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi gave Jimmy Kimmel Live! a lot of material to work with, after clashing with lawmakers in her Wednesday appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.
As more and more documents from the Epstein files are gradually disseminated, victims and lawmakers alike have complained of inconsistent redactions, and that possibly compromising information about the disgraced financier’s well-connected associates continues to be conspicuously shielded.
As such, “Today it was Attorney General Pam Bondi’s turn in the hot seat,” Kimmel said during his Wednesday night monologue, to answer questions about the DOJ’s calculated manipulation of the explosive files.
“And this woman, she’s something,” Kimmel marveled. “This is the kind of woman who, if you lived next door to her, you’d move…. You’d just relocate and never go back to the block.”
In (not) answering lawmakers’ questions, Bondi on numerous occasions launched into unabashed adulation of President Donald Trump—conveniently, just as her performance as AG has come under fire.
“This hearing has been on the books for weeks,” Kimmel noted, ” but the stakes were especially high for Pam because there are reports that Trump was complaining about her… not doing enough to punish his enemies. Or administer his enemas. So Pam Bondi, with the Trump-Epstein Files front and center now, had to butter that biscuit as bigly as she could.”
Here, Kimmel fired up one of several supercuts his team made of Bondi singing Trump’s praises, unfettered.
There were also clips of Bondi trumpeting recent stock market gains, apropos of… absolutely nothing.
“You’re all so caught up with pedophilia, you’re not even thinking about your IRAs!” quipped Kimmel.
Kimmel also cued up an exchange between Bondi and North Carolina congresswoman Deborah Ross, who had to remind the AG that this senate hearing was “all about you,” so she should get used to the questions focusing on her handling of the Epstein files.
Teeing up a minute-long montage (seen below) of Bondi’s snarkier retorts, Kimmel observed, “She’s shouting like a crazed Dance Mom, berating Democrats for giving her chubby daughter a low score.”

Kimmel also had to laugh that Bondi accused Thomas Massie—the Republican co-sponsor of the bill that dictated the Epstein files’ release—of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“Yes, the ultra-conservative Congressman from Kentucky, who endorsed Donald Trump three times, has Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Kimmel scoffed.
Watch the full monologue above.
Kimmel is so dense he cannot understand the irony
Kimmel was on target! Get over yourself!
