Pam Bondi was falsely accused of posting on social media promising to investigate Nancy Pelosi. The post claimed that Pelosi’s salary is $175,000 but her net worth is over $200 million, and Bondi supposedly pledged to investigate her. However, there is no record of Bondi making such a post on her X profile, and the post was actually shared by a satirical X account impersonating Bondi. This type of content, known as “stolen satire,” can mislead readers into believing false information.
Bondi, who was picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be the next U.S. attorney general, did not share the post about investigating Pelosi. Pelosi, a California representative and former House Speaker, secured her 20th term in the House in the recent election. Members of Congress report their assets with a range of values, and Pelosi’s financial disclosure shows assets worth at least $90 million.
The Facebook post claiming that Bondi would investigate Pelosi’s finances was debunked as false. It is important to verify information shared on social media and be cautious of parody accounts that may spread misleading content. Bondi’s actual involvement in Trump’s administration and Pelosi’s financial situation were clarified to provide accurate information to the public.
