Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has directly denied claims that Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired because she leaked sensitive information to him. “The attorney general did not tip us off,” Swalwell said during an interview, responding to President Donald Trump‘s announcement that Bondi had been removed from her role.
Many people in politics linked Bondi’s firing to Trump’s dissatisfaction with her performance, especially her handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein and her perceived failure to go after his political opponents. But some reports suggested another reason: Trump apparently suspected that Bondi had warned Swalwell about the administration’s plans to release details from an old investigation involving the congressman.
