US Attorney General Pam Bondi became the target of a chilling murder-for-hire plot that began on TikTok and spread rapidly online. The threat surfaced on 9 October 2025, when a user posted an image of Bondi with a $45,000 (£33,836.40) bounty for her killing. The FBI quickly launched an investigation after a concerned viewer in Detroit reported the post.
According to investigators, the online threat explicitly called for Bondi's death. The post featured her photo with a red sniper dot marked on her forehead. Beneath the image, the caption read: 'WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead).'
