"Pam Bondi has spent more time investigating the people who are reading the Epstein files than the people who are in the Trump-Epstein files."

Jimmy Kimmel has already broken down Pam Bondi's chaotic Epstein files hearing, but on Thursday he spoke about another disturbing development.

"For those who were wondering when the abuse of power will end, the answer is never, probably," says Kimmel in the clip above, bringing up a shot of a piece of paper in Bondi's folder with the title "Jayapal Pramilia Search History".

"That refers to congresswoman Pramilia Jayapal, a Democrat with whom Bondi exchanged in one of the most contentious exchanges of the day," Kimmel explains. "The photo appears to show everything Jayapal searched for in the Trump-Epstein files (which again, we've trademarked). They tracked her search history in the private room at the DOJ where congresspeople are, you know, legally permitted to look at the less redacted files. And it would seem that they tracked those congresspeople without their knowledge — they looked at their search history to give Bondi an edge in the hearings. And then they're so dumb they printed it out and put a title at the top. 'Jayapal Pramilia Search History'. It's such a delicate balance between stupid and evil."

Kimmel's conclusion?

"Pam Bondi has spent more time investigating the people who are reading the Epstein files than the people who are in the Trump-Epstein files."
