Former Florida Attorney General Speaks Out as DOJ Releases Clinton Email Investigation Records
In a move that reignites political tensions surrounding one of the most controversial investigations of the past decade, the U.S. Department of Justice on Monday released information related to the FBI’s handling of its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.
The decision to honor the Senate Judiciary Committee’s request—led by Chairman Chuck Grassley—was accompanied by a statement from Attorney General Pamela Bondi, who previously served as Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 and has remained a prominent conservative figure on the national stage.
“Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey’s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State. I commend Chairman Grassley for his unwavering, years-long commitment to exposing the truth and holding those who seek to conceal it accountable.”
Bondi emphasized that the DOJ remains committed to transparency and to supporting Congressional efforts aimed at ensuring oversight and accountability throughout the federal government.
The document release is expected to stir renewed scrutiny of the FBI’s actions during the 2016 election cycle—but it also places Bondi back in the spotlight.
Known in Florida for her tough-on-crime approach and vocal support of Republican leadership, Bondi has also drawn criticism for her controversial ties to the Church of Scientology. During her tenure as Attorney General, she attended fundraisers organized by prominent Scientologists and spoke at events focused on anti-drug and human trafficking issues—initiatives often backed by the church.
Those connections, combined with campaign contributions and continued public appearances with Scientology-linked groups, have fueled questions about the influences surrounding Bondi’s political rise. Now, as she commands a national role as the U.S. Attorney General, her actions—including the release of long-requested Clinton investigation records—are under even sharper public scrutiny.
