The sustained backlash has exposed the hazards of the attorney general’s focus on courting President Trump, with the assumption that he maintains the total backing of his base.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor in the Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases and the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, according to reports.

President Donald Trump was unable to answer a basic question about whether he’d appoint a special counsel to investigate the so-called Epstein files. Instead, the frustrated president simply declared: “I have nothing to do with it,” before walking out of the room.
