The late-night lineup wasted no time tearing into Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday night, following her combative and often chaotic testimony before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
From Seth Meyers’ deep dive into her shouting matches with Democrats to Stephen Colbert’s shock at her insults, the hosts found plenty of material in what The New York Times described as a "spectacle of deflection."
Seth Meyers: "A Closer Look" at the Screaming
On Late Night, Seth Meyers dedicated his "A Closer Look" segment to the hearing, which he called "less of a legal proceeding and more of a Real Housewives reunion special."
Meyers zeroed in on the moment Bondi lashed out at Rep. Jerry Nadler, engaging in a shouting match where she refused to answer questions about redactions. "Usually, the Attorney General is the person telling everyone to calm down," Meyers joked. "Bondi looked like she was about to flip a table because the waiter brought her sparkling water instead of still."
Meyers also highlighted the bizarre exchange where Bondi accused a Democratic lawmaker of having a "suspicious search history" regarding the Epstein files. "That’s not the flex you think it is," Meyers laughed. "You’re the Attorney General, not a snitch in the principal’s office."
Stephen Colbert: The "Washed-Up" Insult
Over on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert marveled at Bondi’s lack of decorum, specifically her jab at a committee member whom she called a "washed-up loser lawyer."
"A washed-up loser lawyer?" Colbert deadpanned. "Madam Attorney General, you are the top law enforcement officer in the country. You sound like a villain in a movie about a ski resort getting turned into a condo."
Colbert also pointed out the irony of Bondi’s defense of President Trump’s privacy within the Epstein documents. "She’s protecting these files like they’re the nuclear codes," Colbert quipped. "Although, to be fair, we’ve seen better security at a Spirit Halloween."
Kimmel: The "Spying" Allegations
Jimmy Kimmel focused on the most chilling part of the hearing—Bondi’s admission that the DOJ had tracked the "search history" of lawmakers reviewing the files.
"So let me get this straight," Kimmel said. "The Attorney General is spying on Congress to see who is looking at the Epstein files? That’s like the cookie monster auditing the Keebler elves."
The Takeaway
The consensus across late-night TV was clear: Bondi’s performance was viewed not as a defense of justice, but as a politically charged shield for the administration. As Meyers concluded, "If today proved anything, it’s that the Department of Justice is currently functioning as the Department of 'Just Us'."
Stay Ahead of the Story
The fallout from this hearing is just beginning. As the late-night hosts joke, the implications of Bondi's "spying" admission could lead to a constitutional crisis.
