Pam Bondi, the newly confirmed Attorney General, started her first day at the Justice Department after a swearing-in ceremony at the White House. President Trump attended, with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas administering the oath.

Immediately after taking office, Bondi issued a memo cutting funds to “sanctuary” jurisdictions that protect illegal immigrants. She has long criticized these policies, arguing they “undermine national security.” The memo also calls for reviewing funding agreements with NGOs assisting illegal immigrants.

Bondi emphasized “zealous advocacy” in defending presidential policies and enforcing laws. She reiterated her commitment to strict immigration enforcement and national security.

She also discussed the Epstein case, highlighting Bill Clinton’s multiple flights on Epstein’s plane and long association with him, contrasting it with Donald Trump, who severed ties with Epstein years ago.

Trump later signaled his willingness to release documents related to Epstein’s “client list,” which allegedly includes powerful individuals.
