The New Yorker:

By David Remnick

In February, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, told Fox News that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list was sitting on her desk. By July, the Department of Justice had declared that no such list exists, and prominent members of the maga movement—who are convinced that Epstein, the late financial adviser and sex offender, is at the center of a deep-state conspiracy—began to call for Bondi’s resignation.

But they haven’t gotten it. Even as Trump struggles to explain his relationship with Epstein and to deflect attention from it, the President has continued to support Bondi. In this week’s issue, Ruth Marcus, a New Yorker contributing writer and a former legal columnist for the Washington Post, profiles an Attorney Generalwho seems to have survived a siege by a powerful wing of her own party. “You know, she looks like Barbie,” the White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, tells Marcus. “She’s blond and beautiful, and I think people will underestimate her because of how she looks. But she’s got nerves of steel, and she has stood up to some withering situations with a fair amount of grace.”
