In highly unusual public statements about an unprecedented breach of national security at the highest levels of the U.S. government, Attorney General Pam Bondi not only shut the door on investigating whether criminal laws were broken in the Signal group chat fiasco but actively engaged in political attacks and rhetorical spin to defend the Trump administration and assail its critics.

Yet when our nation’s top defense and national security officials group-chatted in the widely available Signal app about the operational details of an imminent military strike in plain view of a national journalist?

The Justice Department has a responsibility to investigate the generation’s most scandalous White House security breach. Pam Bondi doesn’t appear to care.
