FACT CHECK #7IQHTNRY

WHAT WE FOUND

If you’re genuinely shocked that Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem have been caught lying under oath, you probably also think professional wrestling is a documentary. It is TRUE that these two treat the truth like a suggestion box. Kristi Noem was caught lying under oath multiple times by Cory Booker after she pinky-promised that DHS hadn't detained U.S. citizens 3. Not to be outdone, Pam Bondi has turned her DOJ oversight hearings into a masterclass in fiction, specifically regarding her never-ending lies about the Epstein files 7, 8. Things got so embarrassing that a federal judge literally had to tell them both to “stop lying so much” 4. Bondi’s strategy for being called out for perjury is the classic “look over there!” defense, telling lawmakers to focus on California instead of her own testimony 6. It’s a bold strategy for the country’s “top lawyer” 1, assuming that lawyer’s primary job is to treat the witness stand like a performance art piece 5.
