A coalition of over 120 lawyers, including former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince, has renewed an ethics complaint against Pam Bondi, the former U.S. Attorney General. The complaint, filed with the Florida Bar, accuses Bondi of multiple violations of professional conduct while she led the Department of Justice, particularly in her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The group claims Bondi misled the public regarding the existence of a client list related to Epstein and mishandled the release of sensitive documents, compromising the privacy of victims. The coalition argues that Bondi's aggressive approach to pursuing Trump's political agenda resulted in significant ethical breaches, including pressuring Justice Department lawyers to act against their professional obligations. This renewed complaint follows a previous rejection by the Florida Bar, which cited jurisdictional issues while Bondi was still in office. However, with her departure from the Justice Department, the coalition believes an investigation is now warranted. The Justice Department has dismissed the complaint as a media stunt, while Bondi is recovering from thyroid cancer and has recently been appointed to a White House advisory committee.
