The claim that Pam Bondi posted on Facebook promising to investigate Nancy Pelosi is false. The post in question was shared by a satirical account impersonating Bondi, and there is no record of the post on her actual profile. The Facebook post did not identify itself as parody, leading to confusion among readers. Pelosi’s financial disclosure shows assets worth at least $90 million, while her husband is a successful investor and developer. The compensation for most House members, including Pelosi, is $174,000 per year. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, was picked by Trump to be the next U.S. attorney general, but there are no credible reports of her promising an investigation into Pelosi’s finances. The post was an example of “stolen satire,” where content originally presented as parody is reposted in a way that makes it appear authentic. The satirical account that shared the post later changed its profile name and was removed. Overall, the claim about Bondi investigating Pelosi is not true, and readers should exercise caution in believing information shared on social media.
