The claim that Pam Bondi posted on Facebook promising to investigate Nancy Pelosi is false. There is no record of the post on Bondi’s actual profile, and it was shared by a satirical Facebook account impersonating her. The post, which included misleading information about Pelosi’s finances and a promise to investigate her, was shared by a parody account labeled as such. Pelosi’s actual financial disclosure shows assets between $90 million and $300 million, and her husband is a successful investor and developer. While Pelosi’s salary as House speaker is $223,500, the claim about her net worth and salary in the post are inaccurate.
Bondi, Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general, did not make the claim about investigating Pelosi, despite her support for Trump and her previous involvement in his first impeachment trial. The Facebook post is an example of “stolen satire,” where content originally intended as parody is captured and reposted to mislead readers. The parody account that initially shared the post has since changed its profile name and been removed. In conclusion, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Bondi posted about investigating Pelosi, and the post was shared by a parody account.
