Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired several Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who worked with former special counsel Jack Smith on two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump 's possession of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Reuters reported on Friday.

Moreover, the speculation is that Epstein used the list to extort and blackmail people. Belief in the existence of such a document gained credibility after now-U.S. Attorney General Bondi claimed she had such a list in her possession.

The attorney general, limping through a turbulent week, lashed out at a whistleblower alleging DOJ misconduct.
