Bondi, played by Poehler, dodged every question that the senators asked, further insulting some of them in the skit. Introducing herself as Bondi, Pehler stated:

"My name is Pam Bondi. I spell it with an 'I' 'cause I ain't gonna answer any of your questions."

Topics such as the Epstein Files, actions by the Trump administration, indictment of ex-FBI director James Comey, and more. Tina Fey also made an appearance in the skit as Kristi Noem. Her introduction to her character was as follows:

"It's me, Kristi Noem. I spell my name with an 'I' 'cause that's how I thought it was spelled. And I'm the rarest type of person in Washington, D.C.- a brunette that Donald Trump listens to."
