We Found Pam Bondi’s Secret DOJ Email Alias

November 12, 2026 · 25 min

Show notes

Former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions received official emails at the address [email protected]. Eric Holder chose [email protected].

Why does the Justice Department’s top official use an alias email address? What could go wrong when the nation’s top law enforcement official uses one? What name did Bondi pick? Jason tells Matt why he sends a FOIA every time an attorney general steps down and about the time he saw Kareem Abdul-Jabaar in LAX.
