Did Florida’s former Attorney General Pam Bondi just confirm the unthinkable? Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bondi was asked by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse whether the FBI had found compromising photos of Donald Trump in Jeffrey Epstein’s safe. Whitehouse pressed for a simple “yes” or “no.” Bondi’s response, or lack of one, spoke volumes. She stared silently, mouth open, as the room waited.
That “deafening silence,” as one observer put it, has sparked a firestorm of speculation. Many believe Bondi’s non-answer was a strategic choice, an attempt to avoid perjury without confirming that Epstein possessed photos of Trump with “half-naked young women,” as Whitehouse described them. Despite having the authority to release all Epstein records, both Trump and Bondi have refused.
Trump had once promised transparency, but now dismisses Epstein’s case as a “Democrat hoax.” The reluctance to unseal the files has only deepened suspicions. Trump’s long friendship with Epstein, and his own troubling record, are part of what keeps this story alive. For many in the LGBTQ community and beyond, Bondi’s silence isn’t just about politics; it’s about accountability, power, and the truth still locked away.
