This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.
In her conduct of the office of Attorney General of the United States, Pamela Bondi, contrary to her oath faithfully to execute the office of Attorney General of the United States and, to the best of her ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has engaged in conduct that impaired the due and proper administration of justice, usurped the authority of the judiciary, and dismantles the rule of law that governs our country and protects the constitutional rights of its citizens and residents. She has lied to or misled Members of Congress after being sworn to tell the truth and she has done so to enable Trump to carry out actions, policies, and practices that violate U.S. law, the U.S. Constitution, court orders, and the constitutional rights of citizens and residents. The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following, carried out personally: (1) On January 15, 2025, Pamela Bondi swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before the Senate Judiciary Committee for her nomination hearing. Contrary to that oath, Pamela Bondi willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning one or more of the following: politicizing and weaponizing the DOJ and targeting journalists. Such testimony includes the following: Senator Whitehouse Question: Under what circumstances would you prosecute journalists for what they write? Pamela Bondi Answer: I believe in the freedom of speech, only if anyone commits a crime. Pamela Bondi Answer:...if I am Attorney General, I will not politicize that office, I will not target people simply because of their political affiliation. Justice will be administered even handedly throughout this country. (2) On February 11, 2026, Pamela Bondi swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before the House Judiciary Committee. Contrary to that oath, Pamela Bondi willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the House Judiciary Committee concerning one or more of the following: the nature of Ghislaine Maxwell’s detention in the Bureau of Prisons and the evidence against Donald J. Trump in the Epstein investigation. Such testimony includes the following: Representative Ross Question: Does a convicted sex offender like Ghislaine Maxwell deserve special treatment in prison and special privileges in prison? Pamela Bondi Answer: I did not know she was being transferred, and she was not transferred to a lower-level facility. Representative Lieu Question: I want to know were there any underage girls at that party or at any party that Trump attended with Jeffrey Epstein? Pamela Bondi Answer:...there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime. These acts individually and together demonstrate that the Attorney General has defied and usurped the authority afforded by our Constitution to the judiciary, and has a dangerous disregard for the Constitution and the careful balance of powers that protects our country from abuses by any single branch. In all of this, Pamela Bondi has acted in a manner contrary to her trust as Attorney General and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore Pamela Bondi, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
