About a week and a half ago, it was reported that a coalition of legal groups, judges and attorneys on Wednesday refiled a formal ethics complaint against former Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of “serious professional misconduct” in her leadership of the Justice Department and handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Courthouse News Service has the story here. Above the Law has more here.
The story says "refiled" because a complaint was filed last year (around June), while she was still in office. (See here). That complaint was rejected by the state of Florida on the basis that the state would not prosecute her while she held her office as Attorney General. Well, now that she is no longer serving in that capacity, it is time for Florida to decide whether to take on the complaint. I doubt they will, but I hope I am wrong.
