‘Her Days Are Numbered’: Megyn Kelly Predicts Consequences for Bondi Over Epstein Fiasco

(DCNF)—SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly predicted Tuesday on her show that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s days in the Trump administration are “numbered” following public backlash over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) new report on Jeffrey Epstein.

Axios reported Sunday that the DOJ and FBI released a two-page memo that concluded Epstein committed suicide in 2019 and left behind no “client list.” While discussing Republican criticism of the memo, a guest on “The Megyn Kelly Show” asked whether Bondi’s previous media comments are fueling the backlash.

“Just look at the influencer thing. Just take a step back,” Kelly said. “What kind of an attorney general would pretend she’s giving new information to some of the president’s most loyal advocates in the press? You know, buying ink by the barrel. So either Pam Bondi knew she was about to embarrass some of his most loyal surrogates out there, and did that willingly, or she didn’t take the time to make sure what was in those binders. She was too lazy to actually figure out none of this is new.”

“And yet she called a meeting with the influencers that included Kash Patel the head of the FBI and the sitting vice president,” Kelly added. “So she’s either lazy and incompetent or she willingly humiliated some of the president’s most loyal supporters. Neither one of those is good. And that’s why, I’m sorry, but I’m going to predict her days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration.”

Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking in 2019. Just over a month into his stay at the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center he was found dead in his cell. While officials ruled Epstein’s death a suicide, his brother, Mark, and others have challenged that conclusion.

“Jeffrey knew a lot of stuff about a lot of people,” Mark Epstein told the Miami Herald in 2019.

After Epstein’s death, his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in 2021 and later sentenced in June 2022 to 20 years in prison for her role in his crimes. She was the only person held accountable in connection to his trafficking ring.

Epstein’s files have not been publicly released. This has fueled speculation, due to his ties to high-profile figures.

President Donald Trump pledged during his 2024 campaign to release Epstein’s files as well as the JFK assassination files. The administration faced backlash in February after handing a first wave of Epstein documents to conservative influencers — many of whom said the material lacked any real revelations or a so-called “client list.”

Bondi said in March that thousands of Epstein-related files had been withheld from the FBI, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity the documents would get released after undergoing redactions and with explanations provided for each one.

“You’re looking at these documents going, ‘These aren’t all the Epstein files.’ There were flight logs. There were names, victims’ names, and we’re going ‘Where’s the rest of the stuff?’ That’s what the FBI had turned over to us,” Bondi said on Fox News. “So a source said ‘Whoa, all this evidence is sitting in the Southern District of New York.’ So based on that, I gave them the deadline, Friday at 8, a truckload of evidence arrived.”
