SCOOP: Dem who covered up for Biden falsely accuses Pam Bondi of concealing information from Congress

THE LOWDOWN:

  • During Attorney General Pam Bondi’s latest congressional hearing, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D., Pa.) thought she scored a one-two knockout against the Trump administration official.

  • In fact, Dean was one of the leading Democrats to cover up for President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. Just days after President Donald Trump beat Biden in their only 2024 debate, Dean still argued that Biden was fine.

  • Biden, of course, was not fine — and neither were Dean’s twin accusations against Bondi.

  • A Department of Justice official told the Washington Reporter that Dean wasted her opportunity for a meaningful conversation with Bondi during the House Appropriations Committee hearing.

During Attorney General Pam Bondi’s latest congressional hearing, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D., Pa.) thought she scored a one-two knockout against the Trump administration official.

Dean chose to imply that Bondi both profited off of Trump’s social media company and hid her past lobbying work.

Both of these claims, however, are false.

In fact, Dean was one of the leading Democrats to cover up for President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. Just days after President Donald Trump beat Biden in their only 2024 debate, Dean still argued that Biden was fine.

“I traveled with the president yesterday in Pennsylvania,” Dean said in an interview. “He worked nicely from a notebook…the President spoke without any notes, and he was terrific.”

“He was just fine,” she claimed.

Biden, of course, was not fine — and neither were Dean’s twin accusations against Bondi.

With regards to Bondi selling her shares of Trump Media & Technology Group shortly before “Liberation Day,” the reality is that she sold the stock pursuant to an ethics agreement she signed during her confirmation process.

As Bondi noted to Dean, “you should take a class in financial literacy if you think I profited from that, because I lost a tremendous amount of money.”

Secondly, while Bondi did briefly lobby for Qatar, as Dean noted, she made no effort whatsoever to hide her work.

“On page 25 of my SJ2, it lists my involvement with Qatar for anti-human trafficking for the World Cup,” Bondi said.

A Department of Justice official told the Washington Reporter that Dean wasted her opportunity for a meaningful conversation with Bondi during the House Appropriations Committee hearing.

“Instead of engaging on the serious business of the Department of Justice’s budget request, Rep. Dean chose to recycle a couple of debunked smears to attack the Attorney General’s character,” the official said.

“The suggestion that she tried to profit from a stock sale mandated by her ethics agreement is absurd and untrue — she lost money on the sale,” the official continued.

“And the suggestion that she tried to hide her prior work for Qatar is immediately disproven by her public disclosure of that work,” the official added.
