Trump Ousts Attorney General Bondi

Bondi’s dismissal came abruptly ahead of a prime-time address, with reports surfacing of her portrait being discarded in the trash at the DOJ. Acting AG Todd Blanche has already signaled a shift in priorities, suggesting the department should move on from the Epstein investigation.

Critics argue the change is an attempt to install a leader more willing to prosecute political enemies.

Bondi is still expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee later this month regarding the Epstein files.
