Pam Bondi Hits Back at CNN’s Elie Honig: ‘There’s a Reason Why Their Ratings Are Plummeting’

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi hit back at CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig on Fox News after Honig accused her of being “MIA” amid the Trump administration’s Signalgate.

“CNN, their Elie Honig, who sometimes is fair but, you know, mostly biased, said you have to open up a Signalgate investigation at DOJ,” said Fox News host Laura Ingraham during an interview with Bondi on Thursday. “Watch this.”

Ingraham then played the clip of Honig saying on CNN’s The Arena, “Pam Bondi has been MIA. There is no indication that she’s going to open an investigation here, and by the way, when she was up for a confirmation as A.G., remember, one of the concerns is would she be able to exercise independence. She told the Senate, ‘Absolutely, I will be completely independent.’ There’s no reasonable prosecutor who could look at this and say it doesn’t even need to be investigated.”

“Your response to your pal there?” asked Ingraham.

Bondi replied, “Yeah, there’s a reason why their ratings are plummeting, because they’re putting people like that on TV. Chatter. We could care less what they say. We’re gonna continue forward on all of these cases.”

Ingraham questioned, “So this is not a concern of yours? Inspector general– you know, idea of inspector general investigation or congressional investigation down the road? You are completely confident that this was a mistake and nothing more than that?”

“We are and all of our intelligence officials who were on it are confident of that as well,” insisted Bondi.
