Congress Demands Attorney General Pam Bondi Resign Amid Explosive Bribery Allegations

At 8:47 a.m. Eastern, Amanda Reyes, former deputy chief of staff in Bondi’s office, testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee.

With 10 years of insider experience, Reyes presented detailed evidence including banking records, wire transfers, and policy timelines linking payments from Avalon Consulting Group, a Cyprus-based shell company, to Bondi’s personal LLC.

The first payment of $750,000 was wired on May 15, 2024, under the guise of “strategic consulting services.”

Just three days later, Bondi publicly softened her stance on Russian sanctions enforcement—marking the first of three policy reversals after payments totaling $2.3 million over six months.

Subsequent payments of $900,000 and $680,000 similarly preceded Bondi’s dropping of investigations into aluminum companies tied to Russian interests and a Senate testimony advocating diplomatic rather than prosecutorial approaches.

Reyes provided contracts showing no deliverables or work product, exposing the consulting agreements as sham arrangements designed to mask bribery.

After raising concerns internally, Reyes faced retaliation: her security clearance was suspended and she was reassigned away from policy work.

This pattern strongly suggests consciousness of guilt on Bondi’s part.

During congressional questioning, Bondi initially denied knowledge of the payments but shifted to evasive responses when confronted with signed contracts and documentation.

She also invoked executive privilege to avoid disclosing whether she reported these payments on mandatory ethics forms—a legally dubious claim given disclosure requirements.

Two hours after the hearing, Senators Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Mazie Hirono, along with seven House members across party lines, demanded Bondi’s immediate resignation, citing the credible and deeply troubling nature of the allegations.

This scandal poses a constitutional crisis: as Attorney General, Bondi oversees the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section, responsible for investigating corruption—including potentially herself.

Legal experts call for a special counsel to ensure impartiality.

Tracing the money reveals a labyrinthine laundering scheme: Avalon Consulting Group is owned by Meridian Holdings in the British Virgin Islands, controlled by a Panama law firm specializing in shell companies.

The ultimate beneficial owner is Dmitri Volkov, a sanctioned Russian oligarch with vested interests directly affected by Bondi’s policy reversals.

Federal laws potentially violated include the Foreign Agents Registration Act, honest services fraud, bribery of public officials, and money laundering—each carrying severe penalties, including up to 20 years in prison.

The House Oversight Committee is poised to subpoena Bondi’s financial records within 30 days.

Should she refuse to comply or resign, impeachment proceedings are expected, a process historically fatal to officials facing credible bribery allegations.

This case underscores the critical importance of integrity in the nation’s highest law enforcement office.

The public’s trust hinges on the Attorney General’s impartiality and adherence to justice—not foreign influence.

As this investigation unfolds, all eyes remain on Congress, the Department of Justice, and Bondi herself.

Will accountability prevail, or will this scandal further erode faith in the rule of law?
