'Bondi's Wedding Ring Made Trump Bleed ... and Other DOJ Absurdities'

"The Comic Horror of the Trump DOJ...Before we get into the substantive coverage of developments related to the Trump Justice Department, a quick foray into the absurdism that is never far from the surface."

"Thanks to a notebook dump by WSJ reporters in a story ostensibly about the politicization of the Justice Department under the thumb of the Trump White House, we have a bunch of new nuggets that are equal parts cringey and preposterous."

"There was the time earlier this year, for instance, when President Trump cut his hand on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s gaudy wedding ring. I can’t even with this story. That and the other lowlights of the WSJ story."

"No story on the absurdist Trump DOJ is complete without a cameo from Ed Martin: He works from an office dubbed the 'Freedom Suite' on one end of a hallway on the deputy attorney general’s fourth floor, which visitors have described as being decorated with oversize photos of Trump and a small cup of holy water on the wall."

Bondi married Scott Fitzgerald in 1996; they divorced in 2002. She was engaged to Greg Henderson in 2012. Since 2017, she has been in a relationship with John Wakefield.

'Who Is Attorney General Pam Bondi's Partner? All About John Wakefield'

"Wakefield showed his support for Bondi during her attorney general swearing-in ceremony in February 2025...At the time, the firm founder stood beside Bondi and held the Bible she was swearing her oath on as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas guided the ceremony. President Donald Trump even mentioned Wakefield during a brief address after Bondi’s swearing-in, calling him her 'very handsome husband'...'I just want to introduce her very, very handsome husband. I hate being around him. He looks too good,' the president said. 'He’s been a tremendous factor with Pam and just a beautiful relationship'...Although Trump referred to Wakefield as Bondi's husband, neither member of the couple have confirmed if they are married."

Apparently, if we are to judge by the huge cross Bondi carries around on her shoulders, they're living in sin.
