Attorney General Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Washington, D.C., October 7, 2025 (PBS)
I joined Times Radio’s Trump Report on Wednesday for a 36-minute deep dive into the latest in authoritarianism from the Trump Administration.
Host Maddie Hale and I put Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee in wider context. We take apart her disinformation, insults, and evasions as part of Donald Trump’s assault via the Justice Department on his “enemies” — and his effort to escape accountability over the files of the late paedophile and his friend Jeffrey Epstein.
Pam Bondi is a political attack operative.
Because, folks, the authoritarian is now here. It’s not wannabe authoritarianism. It’s not maybe authoritarian.
I also discuss Trump’s latest expression of authoritarianism with the military on the streets of Chicago, and the weaponization of the Justice Department to cover up his involvement in the Capitol Attack of January 6, 2021.
As a bonus, Maddie and I examine how Trump threw away an alliance with India, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi responds with a search for economic agreements with others and send a nice birthday card to Vladimir Putin.
