Pam Bondi Faces Growing Criticism Over Refusal to Investigate Signal Leak

The attorney general defends her decision against a DOJ probe into the inadvertent leak of sensitive Yemen airstrike details, as bipartisan calls for accountability intensify.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has reiterated her decision not to investigate the Signal group chat leak, citing that the information was sensitive but not classified and was inadvertently released.
The leak, which involved Trump administration officials and journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed sensitive details about a planned U.S. airstrike on Yemen's Houthi militants.
Bipartisan members of the Senate Armed Services Committee have called for a Pentagon inspector general investigation into the leak, but no action has been taken yet.
Critics, including CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, have accused Bondi of politicizing the Department of Justice and failing to exercise independence in her role.
Bondi defended her stance during a Fox News interview, emphasizing intelligence officials' confidence that the leak was an honest mistake and highlighting the success of the Yemen airstrike.
